A safe space for survivors to rebuild
Crisis Intervention Services (CIS) provides advocacy and support
services for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.
The mission of Crisis Intervention Services is to work to end sexual assault
and domestic violence in our communities through support, emergency
safe housing, counseling, and prevention through education.
Our vision is to accomplish the greatest amount of good, to as many
survivors as possible, through compassion, crisis counseling,
holistic healing services, and advocacy.
We provide free, confidential, and secure services to clients.
Sexual/Domestic Violence Advocacy and Housing Support is offered in Jasper, Keokuk, Mahaska, Marion, and Poweshiek Counties, and a Homicide + Violent Crimes Program is offered in Appanoose, Davis, Jasper, Mahaska, Marion, Monroe, Lucas, Wapello and Wayne counties.
Certified Advocates are professionally trained and equipped to provide services in a respectful
and non-judgmental manner. They understand the courage it takes to make ‘the call”.
“Deep inside of you is all the strength you need to keep moving forward.
Get silent. Tap into it. Keep going.”
