24/7 Island Wide – All Calls Are Confidential
Since the 1970s, YWCA has provided response programs to victims of sexual assault known as Sexual Assault Support Services (SASS). The YWCA of Hawaiʻi Island is dedicated to changing the beliefs that accompany sexual violence. They seek to create a society that does not minimize sexual crimes, that does not permit the shaming or silencing of the assaulted or hide the crime out of shame – a society where perpetrators are held accountable, mandated for treatment and prevented from offending again.
The YWCA offers support services for victims and their families:
- Free, Confidential Counseling
- Advocacy
- Crisis Intervention
- Emotional and Moral Support
- Available for All Ages
- Assistance Deciding Whether to File a Police Report
- Therapeutic Services

Wisconsin Hmong Family Strengthening Helpline 877-740-4292 is available 24/7 and all calls are answered by Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Advocates. They are based in Wisconsin, however, services are open to anyone who is looking for support, whether it is someone to talk to or someone who is looking for services in their area.
The Hmong Family Strengthening program (HFS) at CAP Services’ Family Crisis Center provides specialized, culturally sensitive domestic violence services to Hmong families. Advocates are bilingual and bicultural, and are able to assist those who identify as Hmong, but also work with other organizations to connect clients who identify as Khmer, Karen, Black, Burmese, Chin or LGBTQ+ to needed services.
The ‘me too.’ movement was founded in 2006 by Tarana Burke to support survivors of sexual violence, particularly young women of color from low-wealth communities, to find pathways to healing. The organization hosts an array of survivor resources and information.

Sikh Family Center’s non-emergency helpline is the first of its kind for the Sikh American community.
Sikh Family Center’s helpline provides culturally specific peer-counseling and non-emergency support for community members in Punjabi and English. The phone line is staffed by volunteers committed to supporting community members facing or fearing any threats to their health, safety, and/or security. We connect members of our community with resources they may not otherwise access. When you call, please leave a message on our voicemail. We try our best to return your call within 48 hours.
Sikh Family Center promotes community health and well-being with a special focus on gender justice. We provide trauma-centered interventions for victim-survivors of violence while working to change the social and cultural conditions that allow gendered violence to occur in the first place. Our training, outreach, and advocacy are grounded in cultural tradition, grassroots power, and intergenerational healing.
