•	24-hour crisis hotline
•	24-hour in-person emergency crisis response to victims of sexual assault

•	Long-term emergency shelter
•	Accompaniment to forensic exams for survivors of rape and sexual assault
•	Legal services, court accompaniment and on-going client services
•	Individual, child, and family counseling
•	Prevention and education 
•	Community Outreach

CCS operates the only Rape Crisis Center in San Diego.  Last year CCS served over 22,000 individuals affected by intimate partner violence, sexual assault and stalking.
