What We Do
Response provides free, confidential support for survivors of domestic and sexual abuse, stalking and human trafficking in the upper Roaring Fork Valley.
From our 24/7 crisis helpline and emergency shelter at the Halle Center to safety planning, advocacy, housing assistance and other practical support, Response meets survivors where they are and helps them determine what comes next.
We also work throughout our community to prevent violence through education, outreach and partnerships.
“It was the first time I told someone the whole truth, and they believed me and did not judge me. They didn’t tell me what to do. They simply said, ‘You can do this.’ Response helped me understand, for the first time, that I wasn’t alone.”
— Response survivor
“I would not be where I am today without Response. They gave me safety, support, housing, therapy, and the space to rediscover who I was before I lost myself. That changes lives.”
— Response survivor
Our mission is to work with our community to end domestic and sexual abuse and to support survivors in achieving their own safety and empowerment.
Founded in 1983, Response has served survivors in the Roaring Fork Valley for more than four decades. In 2025, Response opened the Diane and Bruce Halle Foundation Center for Hope and Healing in Basalt, bringing survivor services, advocacy, and a seven-unit emergency shelter together under one roof.
Today, Response provides free and confidential support services that provide safety, advocacy, and practical support for survivors and their families.
Response offers a continuum of trauma-informed programs that meet survivors where they are during moments of crisis and throughout the journey toward safety, stability, and independence. Our services are confidential, bilingual and culturally inclusive, and available to individuals and families affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, sexual harassment, and human trafficking in the upper Roaring Fork Valley.
Victim Advocacy
Response provides culturally inclusive, trauma-informed advocacy for victims, their families, and non-abusive significant others. Our advocates walk alongside survivors to help them understand their options, navigate complex systems, and make informed decisions about their safety and future.
