"I am here for you,” Anne whispers to her client, a domestic violence survivor.

Twenty-eight year old Anne has worked for Stand Up Placer for two years. Everyday, she leaves her toddler and comes to work, knowing it will be emotionally difficult. Today is no different. As she sits beside her battered, stoic client and holds her hand, she knows that at this very moment, all she can do is provide a safe space for her to begin to heal. Anne knows that she is all her client has at this very moment. This is her only safe haven. If it were not for the team of advocates and knowledgeable staff, she, herself, could not get through this moment with her client. Anne reassures herself that she is not alone. She is fully supported. and whispers to herself, “This is what we do.”

Every, single day, Stand Up Placer works tirelessly to support and empower victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking in Placer County. As difficult as it is, and has been, to do this work, we actively make the choice to provide our clients with the best of who we are, and with what we are capable of offering.
