Counseling and Outreach
We provide individual counseling, advocacy, and support services to survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, as well as their loved ones.
​
We also provide educational support groups for adults and children who have been impacted by domestic violence.
​
We support decisions to report an assault or not, and our services are confidential.
We offer support for those who decide to get a forensic medical exam.
​
Legal Advocacy
We assist survivors with injunctions, civil and criminal court hearings, and attorney referral.
We can accompany victims to hearings, and help them file for relocation and compensation when appropriate.
Sunrise and the legal team work closely with law enforcement, the State Attorney's Office and judges to prevent future violence and promote safety.
Community Education and Prevention
Sunrise offers training to community groups on a range of topics, including the dynamics of domestic violence, bullying, and issues related to sexual violence, including sexual harassment.
​
Our presentations are also tailored to meet the needs of professional groups such as law enforcement, social services, medical personnel, and educators.
​
We believe that violence is preventable, and seek to create the cultural change necessary to end interpersonal violence before it begins. The Sunrise Prevention Team works with youth, parents, educators, employers, healthcare providers, law enforcement, and community partners to make a difference.

Sunrise Pet Retreat
Sunrise recently received a Safe Housing grant from RedRover to build a Pet Retreat on our shelter property. By providing safe housing for pets, survivors of domestic and sexual violence can flee an abusive and dangerous situation without worrying about leaving their pets behind.
RedRover aims to help 25% of domestic violence shelters become pet-friendly by 2025.
Thank you to the RedRover Safe Housing Grant and Leadership of Pasco Class of 2023 for making the Pet Retreat a reality for Sunrise survivors.
