Client: "This made me feel so much better. I was scared to even come
to authorities about this, but this entire staff made me feel loved and respected."
We opened our doors in October of 1996 to
serve victims of sexual assault in the greater Albuquerque area. The Collaborative was founded with the participation
of the New Mexico Coalition of Sexual Assault Programs, multiple law enforcement agencies, rape crisis center, district attorneys
office, advocates and local hopsitals. It was the desire of these organizations to provide victims of sexual assault
prompt and appropriate care. The Program provides support and treatment for a sexual assault victim in a calm,
