CAPSA provides Advocacy and Support services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and rape.
CAPSA provides specialized expertise
Just like if someone has cancer, they see an oncologist because they specialize in cancer. With domestic violence, sexual assault, and rape – CAPSA provides specialized expertise.
CAPSA’s Caseworkers are experts in this field and have experience overcoming the many barriers associated with abuse including housing, economic difficulty, legal concerns, court advocacy and more. CAPSA also has strong relationships with law enforcement and a deep network of outside resources to help our clients.
Function of Caseworkers
CAPSA’s Caseworkers work with each client and take the time to understand their unique situation. This includes conducting risk assessments, discussing safety plans, helping file protective orders, and connecting clients to other resources both within CAPSA and throughout the community to ensure each client has a feasible and safe path forward.
Every case is unique, and some situations make it difficult or unsafe for survivors to reach CAPSA. Our Caseworkers specialize in dealing with domestic violence, sexual assault, and rape, and they understand the challenges that come with these things. Caseworkers typically work from the office but are equipped to respond to each individualized need. They have, in the past, met with clients at parks, in hospitals where they had appointments, and talked with them over the phone whenever safe, all to ensure those survivors got the help they needed.
CAPSA’s Caseworkers can do the same for you.

CAPSA serves the Cache Valley & Bear Lake areas, including the rural areas of Rich County, Franklin County, and Preston, Idaho. For survivors who have a hard time traveling to our office, we can meet them where they’re at. We believe in the need for survivors to have access to services even if they live in underpopulated areas.
Why Rural Services Matter
When a sexual assault takes place in a rural area, it is less likely that the survivor will have access to services. It is also likely that because of the cultural aspects of small, tight knit communities, the survivor will be acquainted with their abuser, furthering the fear of reporting. If a survivor does come forward, they are times dismissed or told that there aren’t services for them nearby. Because of CAPSA’s advocacy in rural areas, we have been able to meet and help survivors who otherwise would not have received help or even reported. Our rural caseworker – Marin – travels to Rich County, Garden City, and Preston, Idaho frequently to provide advocacy and build relationships.
Story from our Rural Caseworker, Marin
Law enforcement in a rural area responded to a domestic violence call. They helped the survivor get in touch with CAPSA. She was very hesitant to use CAPSA services because of the barriers in a rural community. She was especially worried that everyone in the small town would know she was using CAPSA services. But with support from caseworkers, she worked through her concerns, overcame barriers, and eventually came to shelter. While in shelter, she worked with a caseworker to find housing for herself and her kids away from her abuser. With support from CAPSA, she was able to find a new life where she and her children were free of abuse.
If you or anyone you know is experiencing abuse, call CAPSA at 435-753-2500.

Although CAPSA may initially be perceived as an organization serving a predominantly female clientele, CAPSA serves both men and women, as well as their accompanying children. In addition to extending services beyond those that choose to identify themselves as female, CAPSA seeks to provide services to everyone no matter their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual identity, or citizenship status.
LGBTQ+ Community
CAPSA recognizes the growing need of services for those within different minority groups. Groups such as the LGBTQ+ community have need of resources for dealing with abuse within the community as much as anyone else. Regardless of the way a person chooses to identify themselves in gender or sexual orientation, relationships of any kind still have the potential of becoming abusive.
As part of helping reach out to this community, CAPSA partners with places such as the Cache Pride Center. Through working with Cache Pride Center, learning opportunities are provided as a chance for individuals to ask questions, voice concerns and reservations, and glean more information about CAPSA services.
Differing Cultures, Beliefs, and Race
Just because a person holds a particular belief, or belongs to a certain culture, does not mean they are exempt from the effects of abuse. In fact, some communities experience abuse at far higher rates than others. For these reasons, independent of cultural background or race, CAPSA’s services are accessible to anyone. CAPSA often partners with CRIC, the Cache Refugee Center, to assist refugees entering Cache Valley that may be survivors of abuse.
CAPSA seeks to provide both trauma informed and culturally informed services for all clients. This is accomplished through the direction, supervision, and outreach plans implemented by trained and informed diversity specialists and a team of experienced and knowledgeable advocates.
Service For Everyone
Domestic violence and sexual assault, as well as any form of abuse, is not unique to any one group of people. It is a pervasive issue that can affect any person no matter their age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or social status. Knowing this, it is apparent that services for survivors of abuse should be tailored to fit the needs of all people. CAPSA understands this and therefore prioritizes services that apply to everyone. Our caseworkers and advocates are trained to work with diverse populations.
If you or someone you love is a survivor of abuse, and if you have questions about how CAPSA services can best suit your unique needs, call CAPSA at 435-753-2500. CAPSA Advocates can help you find hope and safety with a personalized plan in line with your specific needs and goals.
