Our Story

Our story began over 50 years ago, in 1973, when three local women recognized the urgent need to support victims of sexual violence in northern New Mexico. From a kitchen table and a single telephone,

they launched a hotline that paved the way for what is now Solace Sexual Assault Services.

Today, we still have that hotline, and we continue their legacy by offering comprehensive trauma-informed services including forensic interviewing, advocacy, therapy, and prevention and education. Our mission is to “Empower survivors of sexual violence and child abuse through healing and social change."

In October 2022, our name was updated from Solace Crisis Treatment Center to Solace Sexual Assault Services, reflecting our commitment in reducing barriers to care while enhancing safety, privacy, and confidentiality. Previously, we were known as the Santa Fe Rape Crisis and Trauma Treatment Center until October 2010.

As a member of the nationally accredited Child Advocacy Center (CAC), our nationally accredited CAC program provides a safe space for young survivors where our forensic team gathers information to help support them and their non-offending caretakers.

Solace provides services to individuals of all ages, races, religions, ethnicities, national origins,

disabilities, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Each department has bilingual (Spanish) staff.
