Solace Sexual Assault Services
Solace Sexual Assault Services
We are here to respond to the needs of individuals who have experienced sexual assault, stalking, sex trafficking and other forms of sexual violence. We are a state-of-the-art non-profit agency, located in Santa Fe, New Mexico combining the healing power and life-affirming services of a specialized clinical team, advocacy center, and education and prevention experts to help survivors and our community restore strength in the face of adversity.
Our Center provides a safe place to receive evidence-based services including therapy for post-traumatic stress and anxiety disorders, victim advocacy and primary prevention programs.
Solace Sexual Assault Services has been restoring strength for over 50 years. In October 2022, we changed our name from Solace Crisis Treatment Center to Solace Sexual Assault Services. Solace also changed its name from the Santa Fe Rape Crisis and Trauma Treatment Center in October 2010, to ensure there were no barriers to receiving services. Because of that name change Solace provides more safety and more privacy and confidentiality than ever before. We also received national accreditation from the National Children’s Alliance as a family advocacy center for children and their families in cases of abuse, neglect or the witnessing of violent crime.
Solace serves Santa Fe, Rio Arriba and Los Alamos Counties and central northern New Mexico and serves individuals from San Ildefonso, Nambe, Tesuque and Santo Domingo pueblos.
Solace provides services to individuals of all ages, races, religions, ethnicities, national origins, disabilities, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

Santa Fe Indigenous Center
The Santa Fe Indigenous Center is a Native-led nonprofit serving Indigenous families across Santa Fe County. Through biweekly food drives, cultural events, community programs, emergency financial assistance, and a robust network of referral resources, SFIC supports the diverse needs of the local Indigenous community. Each year, the organization hosts its signature event — the Honoring Native Nations Powwow on Indigenous Peoples’ Day — bringing dancers, drummers, Tribal Dignitaries, artists, and community members together to celebrate Indigenous culture, joy, and resilience. This year’s powwow was a vibrant success, and SFIC looks forward to continuing this tradition in 2026.
Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian
Last year, the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian opened Carved Stories by Hopi artist Mavasta Honyouti. Featuring all sixteen low-relief carvings from the Coming Home series — created in tandem with Honyouti’s children’s book Coming Home: A Hopi Resistance Story — the exhibit recounts his grandfather Clyde Honyouti’s experience at an off-reservation federal boarding school. This Indigenous-led project offers a powerful and visually compelling reflection on Hopi life, culture, and history. As Brian Vallo notes, “Carved Stories… is both powerful and beautiful.”
Kha'p'o Community School
With support from the Native American Advised Fund, sixth-grade students at Kha’p’o Community School embarked on Our Voice, Our Stories — a year-long documentary project blending traditional Tewa arts and modern digital storytelling. Through pottery, weaving, sewing, and film, students explored their cultural identity and celebrated their voices as young Tewa people.
