A turning point requiring decision. Crisis Intervention - n. The humane effort to reduce the severity of a victim's crisis, to help the victim win as much mastery over the crisis experience as possible. Within the Clovis calling area the hotline number is 769-0305. Callers are connected with a trained volunteer or professional staff member who will assess his or her situation.
Crisis intervention involves assisting the caller to seek some sense of safety and security.
Callers may remain anonymous depending on the level of service required. It's not easy for some people to ask for help, but when the call comes we strive to be there. Shelter personnel may travel to a victim's home, but only if they are accompanied by law-enforcement backup and if the victim specifically asks us to come. We operate a residential facility in the Curry County area. The location is confidential and we maintain policies to keep the residence safe.
