Accessing services for any of our offices can happen by calling our main number: 206-744-1600. Click here to find the location that is most convenient to you. Trauma therapy, advocacy, and support services are provided to children and adults at all 3 locations. Legal advocates are available through Seattle Police Department (SPD) for crimes committed in Seattle including sexual assault, child abuse and violent crime and from KCSARC for sexual assault that takes place outside of Seattle. HCSATS offers legal advocacy as part of the counseling and we collaborate with the SPD advocates for crimes that take place in Seattle, and with KCSARC for sexual assault taking place in other jurisdictions.

Prevention and education services will continue to be provided by Rebecca Milliman. Requests for prevention and education services can be made by contacting the HCSATS main number and asking for her.

Harborview and KCSARC are committed to continuing the high quality services to victims and their family members in east and north King County and we are happy to answer any questions and address any concerns you may have.
