New Year, Same Life-Saving Services

As we step into a new year, the season of goal-setting and self-improvement is in full swing. Many of us are reflecting on where we’ve been, envisioning where we’d like to go, and planning the steps it will take to get there. At CAPSA, we want you to know that this spirit of renewal and growth aligns perfectly with our mission. Whether you’re seeking safety, healing, or a fresh start, CAPSA continues to provide life-saving services to support you every step of the way.

A Fresh Start for Survivors

For survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, the idea of new beginnings can feel daunting. Setting goals and working on personal growth may seem out of reach when you’re navigating difficult circumstances or healing from trauma. That’s why CAPSA’s life-saving services are designed to meet you where you are and help you build the future you envision—not just in January, but every day of the year.

Seeking support is not just an act of bravery; it’s a powerful declaration that you are ready to embrace the hope and healing you deserve. At CAPSA, we’re here to walk beside you through every step of your journey. Our comprehensive programs are designed to empower survivors, restore independence, and create lasting change.

Services We Offer

At CAPSA, our services are centered around providing hope, choice, freedom, and independence. Here’s how we can support you:

  • Emergency Shelter: If you need immediate safety, our emergency shelter offers a secure and welcoming space. You deserve to feel safe and supported.
  • 24/7 Crisis Hotline: Our confidential hotline is available around the clock to offer guidance, support, or just a listening ear. You can reach us any time at (435) 753-2500.
  • Therapy and Counseling: Healing is a journey, and our licensed therapists specialize in helping survivors process trauma and rebuild their lives.

New Year, New Opportunities

The start of a new year is an opportunity to reclaim your voice, set boundaries, and embrace the life you deserve. At CAPSA, we believe in your resilience and strength. Whether you’re reaching out for the first time or continuing on your journey with us, we’re here to provide the tools, resources, and support you need to achieve your goals.

Self-improvement doesn’t have to mean monumental changes overnight. Small steps, like calling our hotline, attending a support group, or setting up a meeting with a caseworker, can be transformative. Each step you take toward healing and growth is an act of courage and self-love.

Partnering with the Community

CAPSA’s work would not be possible without the support of our community. From financial contributions to volunteer efforts, your involvement helps us provide life-saving services to those who need them most. Together, we can create a world where survivors feel empowered to start anew.

This year, consider how you might support CAPSA’s mission. Share our resources with someone who might need them, volunteer your time, or donate to help sustain our programs. Every action, no matter how small, contributes to a larger movement of hope and healing.

You Are Not Alone

As we embrace the possibilities of a new year, CAPSA reaffirms our commitment to being a lifeline for survivors. You are not alone, and help is always available. Together, we can turn the page and write a new chapter—one of safety, empowerment, and hope.

If you or someone you know needs support, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Your journey is important, and we are honored to walk it with you. Visit CAPSA.org to learn more about our services or to find ways to get involved.

At CAPSA, we are privileged to work alongside a remarkable volunteer board of directors who guide our vision and ensure our mission remains steadfast. These dedicated individuals generously offer their time and expertise, helping CAPSA support victims of domestic and sexual violence and create lasting change in our community. Today, we are thrilled to introduce three exceptional new members to our board: Marcia Stewart, Dan Johnson, and Carol Johnson.

Marcia Stewart recently moved back to Cache Valley after living outside of DC. With a background in D.C. politics—enhanced by both professional experience and personal networking alongside her husband—Marcia brings a wealth of connections and insights.  Marcia shared that shortly after returning from DC, she served on a jury for a sexual assault case. She was impressed that the victim, upon sharing her experience with a friend who was still a teen, knew about CAPSA and encouraged her to call CAPSA for support.  Marcia is already connecting CAPSA with local, state and national representatives furthering our advocacy and outreach efforts.

Dan Johnson joins us after a distinguished career of 50 years in education and is currently serving as a Utah State Legislator. Dan’s passion for supporting CAPSA is well known, and his efforts have been instrumental in raising awareness and securing essential funding for our organization. With a respected and influential voice in the legislative arena, Dan is poised to play a critical role in advancing policies that protect and empower survivors. His commitment to CAPSA’s mission is unwavering, and we are excited about the impact he will make on our legislative initiatives.

Carol Johnson, a retired educator with a distinguished background in curriculum development and teacher training, brings a unique perspective to CAPSA. Her lifelong dedication to empowering educators and students aligns perfectly with our educational programs, which focus on promoting healthy relationships and consent. Alongside her husband, Dan, Carol shares a deep commitment to CAPSA’s vision and values. Her experience and passion will be instrumental in enhancing our community’s educational and advocacy efforts.
At CAPSA, our board of directors plays a crucial role in guiding our organization’s vision and ensuring we remain focused on effectively supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence. We are deeply grateful for their commitment and are confident that Marcia, Dan, and Carol will further strengthen our efforts to create a safer and more compassionate community.
We are excited to welcome Marcia, Dan, and Carol to our board, and we look forward to the invaluable contributions they will make in the years to come.
