Since 1972, the North Coast Rape Crisis team has been providing survivor-centered, supportive services for community members of all backgrounds. Spurred by an uptick in social media posts about drink spiking in Arcata, they recently launched a drink spiking reporting program. This week, I'm meeting with Maria Sepulveda to learn more about the program and other services the NCRCT offers.

NCRCT services are free and confidential, if anyone has witnessed or had their drink spiked within the last 6 months, they are available via phone or through our website for any survivor regardless of age, gender, sexual identity, or immigration status. They want to emphasize that it is always the survivor’s choice what information or data is shared as well as if any reports are done.
Thank you for listening, and stay tuned for more episodes of North Coast Conversations as we explore more of what the North Coast has to offer.
