Our Voices Against Violence (AWAZ) program empowers survivors of violence
contact AWAZ staff by calling the general SAN number (562)403-0488 and requesting AWAZ support
We address issues of violence – including domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, child sexual abuse, digital abuse, stalking, human trafficking, and elder abuse – within the community through free and confidential services, outreach, education, case management, and advocacy. Recognizing and reaching out for assistance as a survivor of abuse can be very difficult, and SAN would like to encourage any and all survivors to allow us to be a safe space in helping navigate a sensitive situation.
