ما هي المناصرة المشتركة؟

في بعض الأحيان، تتم خدمة الناجي بأحسن طريقة من قبل أكثر من مناصر واحد في أكثر من منظمة واحدة. تعمل حملة "الاتصال من أجل الأمان" بشكل تعاوني مع المناصرين في منظمات مختصة ثقافيا لتلبية احتياجات الناجي. عند حدوث ذلك، باستطاعة الناجي أن يختار إعطاء إذن كتابي لمناصر حملة "الاتصال من أجل الأمان" للمشاركة بالمعلومات عن حالته مع منظمة خارجية. يجب على الناجي الذي يحصل على المناصرة المشتركة أن يتوقع أن أي مناصر يقدم أي خدمة وهو دائماً مرحب بطرح الأسئلة على أي مناصر.

什么是共同辩护？

有时，幸存者最好接受多个组织中的多位辩护律师提供的服务。“呼吁安全”组织可以与特定文化组织的辩护律师协同工作，以满足幸存者的需求。当出现这种情况时，幸存者可以选择提供针对其“呼吁安全”辩护律师的书面许可，以允许其与外部组织分享关于他们的情况的信息。接受共同辩护的幸存者应该知晓每一位辩护律师所提供的服务，并且欢迎幸存者随时提出有关各位律师的问题。

Что такое совместная правозащитная деятельность?

Иногда, в целях предоставления пострадавшему наилучшего обслуживания, к работе с ним одновременно привлекаются сразу несколько защитников его прав из целого ряда организаций. Для того, чтобы наилучшим образом удовлетворить потребности пострадавшего, служба «Call to Safety» может работать совместно с защитниками прав из организаций, действующих с учётом культурно-национальных особенностей отдельного сообщества. В тех случаях, когда такое происходит, пострадавший может по своему выбору дать своему защитнику из службы «Call to Safety» письменное разрешение на обмен информацией, касающейся его/её ситуации, со сторонней организацией. Пострадавшему, пользующемуся обслуживанием одновременно со стороны нескольких защитников его прав, следует знать о том, какие именно услуги ему предоставляются каждым из его защитников; все защитники будут приветствовать любые его вопросы.

¿Qué es la codefensoría?

En ocasiones, es más útil para un(a) sobreviviente contar con más de un defensor en más de una organización. Call to Safety puede trabajar en colaboración con defensores en organizaciones culturalmente específicas para cubrir las necesidades de un(a) sobreviviente. Cuando esto ocurre, el/la sobreviviente puede elegir otorgar una autorización por escrito para que su defensor de Call to Safety comparta información sobre su situación con otra organización. Un(a) sobreviviente que recibe codefensoría debe saber qué defensor está otorgando los servicios específicos, y siempre puede hacer preguntas a cualquiera de sus defensores.

Chương trình đồng bảo vệ (Co-Advocacy) là gì?

Đôi khi, một người sống sót được phục vụ tốt nhất bởi nhiều hơn một người bảo vệ từ nhiều hơn một tổ chức duy nhất. Chương trình Call to Safety (Gọi Để Được An Toàn) có thể phối hợp làm việc với các người bảo vệ tại những tổ chức đặc thù về văn hóa nhằm đáp ứng các nhu cầu của người sống sót. Khi điều này xảy ra, người sống sót có thể cung cấp một văn bản đồng ý cho phép người bảo vệ trong Chương trình Call to Safety có thể chia sẻ thông tin về tình trạng của mình với một tổ chức bên ngoài. Một người sống sót nhận được chương trình đồng bảo vệ nên được biết loại dịch vụ nào và người bảo vệ nào đang cung cấp và nên biết họ luôn luôn được chào đón để giải đáp cho các thắc mắc của họ với một hoặc cả hai người biện hộ này.

Sexual Assault Services

What We Do

Every Call to Safety advocate is trained to provide sexual assault advocacy on the crisis line. Our advocates offer emotional support, education, referrals to other agencies, information about support groups and help survivors understand their medical and reporting options. Advocates also provide in-person medical advocacy to individuals who have experienced sexual assault.

How to Access

To access crisis line services, support groups, on-going follow up or in-person advocacy call the crisis line at any time: 1.888.235.5333.

Follow-Up Advocacy

What is follow-up advocacy?

This is when one of our Direct Service Advocates offers support over time with things like finding housing or applying for public assistance, helping to navigate through options, accessing the criminal justice system, and healing from violence. Each Direct Service Advocate can support any survivor of domestic or sexual violence, but also has specialized knowledge of serving specific populations of survivors such as those experiencing houselessness, survivors with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, and sex workers.

Shelter Space

Shelter in the Portland Metro Area

Call to Safety contacts domestic violence shelters in and around Portland at 9:00 am every day to check shelter availability. Shelter space is subject to change. If space is available, please contact the shelter directly to do a phone screen.

This is only a short list of shelters in and around the Portland area. Contact a Call to Safety advocate at 1.888.235.5333 if you are looking for shelter outside of the counties listed.

If you are a shelter and need to update information regarding your shelter, please contact Call to Safety at 1.888.235.5333.

Safety & Stabilization Assessments (SSAs)

A Safety and Stabilization Assessment (SSA) is required for you to access domestic violence shelter in Multnomah County. An SSA involves a short pre-screen, then a longer in-person assessment with a trained advocate regarding your experience with violence, your current circumstances, and your plans for the future. Completing an SSA helps the advocate match you with housing resources that may be available, like rental assistance, emergency domestic violence shelter and other housing options. To learn more about an SSA or to complete a pre-screen, reach out to a Call to Safety advocate by calling the crisis line.

Support Groups

What We Do

Call to Safety provides free and confidential support groups throughout the year. We offer groups for adult survivors of childhood trauma and groups for survivors who experienced sexual assault in adulthood. Support groups are open to people of all genders. Groups are between 8 and 10 weeks long and are usually held in the evenings or on a weekend.

How to Access

We continually screen for our support groups. Call the crisis line to learn more about our support groups or to get on the wait-list for a future support group.

“This group was helpful beyond words! Especially emotionally. It was very supportive and everyone was treated with such respect and honor. It was so helpful to be heard. I think it was an excellent step towards healing because the group felt so safe the entire time. This was the best support group I’ve ever attended. Thank you!”

“Now, it’s the one number that no matter where I’m at in my life, I know I can call and feel support and find direction. I’ll never forget it or what Call to Safety has done for me.”
