CAPSA provides support services for individuals and families impacted by domestic violence, sexual abuse, or rape.
A core service is our 24-hour Support Phone Line for those who have experienced abuse or are supporting a friend or loved one.
What is the purpose of the Support Line?
CAPSA’s 24-hour Support Phone Line is answered by trained Advocates who are there to provide information and connect individuals with support services.
The Support Line is confidential. This means your information is not given to parents, family, loved ones, police, or anyone else without your consent. You are free to share what you feel comfortable with, ask questions, and get answers without being required to commit to proceeding further. The Support Line is there for support, does not require you to start any service with CAPSA.
NOTE: CAPSA is required to report instances involving elderly adult abuse or child abuse.
CAPSA can help if you are calling because you need a safe place to escape abuse, or need support helping a friend who has experienced sexual assault or domestic violence.
Who Works the Support Line?
The Support Line is answered by trained CAPSA employees who are trauma-informed and start by believing. This means they are prepared to listen to your needs and understand how best to assist, whatever the situation may be.
Our Advocates specialize in dealing with diverse needs and provide access to specific resources to help you overcome the challenges you are facing.
Who the Support Line is Designed to Help?
The Support Line is designed to be a resource for everyone in the community. Individuals can reach out for themselves or loved ones, and other organizations often refer clients through it. Police who respond to domestic violence calls use it to get support, ask questions and connect those who need help, directly to CAPSA.
If you are fleeing sexual assault or domestic violence and need support, or you are supporting a friend or loved one recovering from it and want to know how you can best help them, please call CAPSA’s Support Line at 435-753-2500.

CAPSA has been awarded two grants from the Utah Office for Victims of Crime to bring awareness to CAPSA’s domestic violence, sexual assault and rape support services
CAPSA is a nonprofit domestic violence, sexual assault and rape recovery center serving Cache and Rich Counties. Last year CAPSA served 1,551 women, men, and children and provided community education to 30,533 participants. CAPSA’s support services includes 24-hour support phone line, emergency shelter, casework, rape exam advocacy, prevention education, and clinical therapy. All of CAPSA’s services are FREE and confidential.
“CAPSA is the local expert on safely escaping and starting a new life after domestic violence, picking up the pieces after rape, and healing from associated trauma from both. When someone reaches out to CAPSA, they can expect to speak to an expert who believes, does not judge, and will not disclose what is shared,” stated Jill Anderson Executive Director of CAPSA. “The individual is in control during the whole process. They determine the direction they want to take and CAPSA then helps them safely and successfully reach their goals.”
CAPSA has been awarded two grants from Utah Office for Victims of Crime (UOVC), Department of Justice – one provides funds for services awareness for sexual assault and rape support services and the second to fund service awareness for domestic violence support services. These funds allow CAPSA to run a multichannel awareness campaign utilizing radio, print, social media and other channels over the next 10 months.
Two examples of marketing images for the KNOW campaign
“There is a major need for service awareness. When someone needs CAPSA, it is often life or death. Yet, if someone does not feel their abuse qualifies, misunderstand CAPSA’s services or sadly does not know CAPSA exists, then they will not call CAPSA and take the first step to safety and healing,” stated James Boyd Development Director for CAPSA. “With this in mind, CAPSA will launch the Know Campaign.”
The KNOW Campaign, developed by CAPSA, is designed to empower survivors of sexual abuse, rape, and domestic violence while bringing awareness to the breadth of services CAPSA offers. Messages include Know Peace, Know Hope, Know Happiness, Know your Choices, Know your Voice and Know CAPSA.

“Victims of sexual abuse, rape, and domestic violence often feel shame and isolation. These feelings mean many suffer alone and do not receive help,” stated Boyd. “This campaign is designed to show these individuals they are not alone, help is available, and there is a future where they will be able to again KNOW PEACE. We know bringing awareness to CAPSA services will result in more people seeking support, safety, and healing.”
CAPSA has developed the KNOW Campaign and is responsible for messaging and content.
“We are grateful to the Utah Office for Victims of Crime for their recognition of the need for service awareness and willingness to fund it,” stated Anderson. “There are so many suffering and this campaign will let them KNOW there is HOPE.”

Background

Jan Miller
Jan Miller
Jan Miller founded Stander, a company that invents and manufactures mobility devices for the elderly and disabled, in 1998 and served as Stander’s Fearless Leader (president and CEO) until her passing. Jan, along with her husband Troy Miller (engineer), were first inspired to create mobility devices to assist Jan’s grandmother. These inventions enabled Essie to live independently in the comfort of her own home. This victory, combined with Jan’s commitment to better society, inspired her to create Stander, Inc. Since then, Stander has invented over 30 innovative mobility solutions to help the elderly and disabled live more independently.
Jan served on the CAPSA board since 2006 and was always passionate about helping empower survivors of domestic violence to become independent. During her service, Jan served as board president, housing committee chair, and historian. Jan lead efforts to build Independence Place (a CAPSA owned neighborhood of nine homes), establish an endowment, supported expanded therapy, and create the zero turn away fund ensuring no one qualified was turn away from emergency shelter. For the zero turn away, Jan committed her company to be the first to do payroll deductions and because of her support CAPSA’s shelter has not turned away any local family displaced by domestic violence since 2016.
Independence Place Neighborhood
“Jan was an outstanding board member whose passion for and experience leadership in empowering others to become independent influenced CAPSA and can be seen throughout our organization and programs”, stated Jill Anderson CAPSA’s Executive Director. “Jan was a mentor, a friend, and partner in this work. Her passing has left a hole in CAPSA and she will be missed.”
Jan Miller passed away on June 3, 2018 (Jan’s Obituary).
The Jan Miller Memorial Golf Tournament
The CAPSA Golf Tournament was one of Jan’s favorite fundraising events. Every year she sponsored the hole-in-one contest and paid for four teams – with the goal of connecting her employees to CAPSA. Jan Miller passed away on June 3, 2018. This was the day prior to the 2018 CAPSA Golf Tournament.
“The morning after her passing, we meet together as a Stander family to discuss her passing”, stated Troy Holland. “As a team we discussed many things including CAPSA’s Golf Tournament that day. We all agreed that Jan would want her Stander Family there supporting CAPSA. She loved CAPSA that much and as a company we always knew of her love for their mission.”
To honor Jan, CAPSA has renamed this tournament to the Jan Miller Memorial Golf Tournament.
“My mother’s true joy in life was supporting those in need, and helping them thrive”, stated Derek Miller Jan’s son. “It’s an honor to have CAPSA dedicate the golf tournament in memory of her kind and loving nature.”
The Jan Miller Memorial Golf Tournament will be held one year after Jan’s passing on June 3, 2019. It will again be hosted at the Logan Golf and Country Club and includes breakfast, food throughout the course, 18 holes with carts, and lunch.
