Volunteer with Solace Sexual Assault Services
Support survivors when they need it most. As a Hotline Volunteer Advocate, you’ll provide after-hours and weekend crisis response by phone, or working with law enforcement and Christus St. Vincent's SANE program. You’ll help victims of s*xual assault and abuse navigate resources, receive immediate support, and take the first steps toward healing.

Volunteering on Solace’s after-hours crisis line means being a compassionate first responder, ensuring survivors are not alone in their most critical moments.

Volunteering on Solace’s after-hours crisis line involves:
• Being “on call” overnight during weekdays and all weekend.
• Committing to shifts that are each one week long, starting Monday at 5pm and ending Monday at 8 am the following week.
• Having reliable cell phone service and transportation.
• The ability to document calls using a call sheet.
• Complete trainings.
• You may be asked to:
o Advocate during weekend forensic interviews.
o Support Sexual Assault Nurse Exams after hours at Solace.

Every hot air balloon makes our sky even more beautiful. Every person showing up as their unique self makes our communities better.

We don’t have to fully understand all the things that make each other different in order to lift each other up and have each other's backs.

Love means that whether we are with our friends, partner, family, or community, we should all feel respected and safe to be ourselves.

Learn more about how you can be a supportive friend at ItStartsWithUsNM.org

Cada globo aerostático hace nuestro cielo aún más bonito. Cuando cada persona puede expresar su ser auténtico, hace mejor nuestra comunidad.

No hace falta que entendamos todas las cosas que hace distinta cada persona para poder apoyarnos y respaldarnos mutuamente.

Sea con nuestras amistades, nuestra pareja, familia o comunidad, el amor significa que deberíamos sentir que nos respetan y que es seguro ser quienes somos.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This month, Solace wants to remind everyone that we can help end domestic violence by coming together as a community.

Let’s stand with survivors, listen without judgment, and help connect anyone who needs support with resources. In Santa Fe, Esperanza Shelter offers support and resources for people experiencing domestic violence.

Together, we can build a community rooted in safety, compassion, and hope. 💜

Consent is an important part of all our relationships, but that doesn’t mean it always needs to be a big conversation.

We already ask for consent all the time with simple questions like “Is it okay if I borrow your pen?” or “Can I sit with you at lunch?”

You can keep practicing consent by being curious about how other people are feeling and making a point to ask.

The more we check in with each other during small everyday situations, the more confident we will be talking about consent in all areas of our lives!

Image Description: Bold text reads “Consent doesn’t have to be complicated" over a picture of calculus notes written on graph paper. The website ItStartsWithUsNM.org and the hashtag appear in a dark banner at the top of the graphic.



El consentimiento es una parte importante de todas nuestras relaciones, pero no por eso tiene que ser siempre una conversación extensa.

Ya solemos pedir consentimiento todo el tiempo con preguntas sencillas como «¿Me prestas tu pluma?» o «¿Puedo acompañarte a almorzar?».

Puedes seguir practicando el consentimiento mostrando interés por cómo se sienten los demás y asegurándote de preguntarles.

Cuanto más nos comuniquemos entre nosotros en las pequeñas situaciones cotidianas, ¡más confianza tendremos para hablar sobre el consentimiento en todos los ámbitos de nuestra vida!
