Arise Sexual Assault Services

What Arise Sexual Assault Services does

Arise Sexual Assault Services is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Portales, New Mexico, that delivers free, comprehensive crisis and support services to survivors of sexual assault across six rural counties in Eastern New Mexico (Roosevelt, Curry, De Baca, Harding, Quay, and Union). Its service portfolio centers on five integrated components: a 24/7/365 crisis helpline; SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) forensic examinations delivered by four SANE-certified nurses at satellite locations and the main Portales office; trauma-informed counseling from licensed clinical therapists (LCSW, LMSW, LMFT, LMHC) trained in modalities including EMDR and Child-Parent Psychotherapy; ongoing advocacy and resource navigation; and evidence-based prevention education delivered at schools, organizations, and community events. The organization also operates specialty programming such as a PREA Advocate serving incarcerated survivors in three counties.

The organization transitioned to independent nonprofit status as Arise SAS 501(c)(3) in 2023, with Sarah Long appointed Executive Director in June 2023 following a competitive statewide selection process. Its staff roster of approximately seven includes clinical, advocacy, outreach, and administrative roles, with bilingual (English/Spanish) delivery and active recruitment of an On-Call Medical Director for 24/7/365 SANE coverage.

The business model is a donation- and grant-funded nonprofit operating 100% on contributed revenue. All services — helpline, SANE exams, counseling, advocacy, and education — are provided free of charge to survivors and the community, with the organization stating that 100% of funding is directed toward its mission. Distribution is regional and rural, combining a central Portales office, satellite SANE sites (including Clovis), a bilingual crisis hotline, and community-based outreach. No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; supporting systems are described as standard nonprofit case management and crisis-line tooling.
