CALM is proud to be part of the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART), where we provide trauma-informed Child Forensic Interviews to support justice system investigations and advocacy.

SART, made up of 21 partners across Santa Barbara County, was recently awarded $236,375 in federal funding to expand into a new space that will “provide a more appropriate setting for forensic examinations and critical services, while helping ensure greater privacy, safety, dignity, and comfort for survivors and victims,” shared Congressman Salud Carbajal, who advocated for this grant.

We are grateful for the support of this partnership that helps hundreds of survivors heal and achieve justice each year.
