At the onset of the pandemic, the Asian/Asian-American community was targeted with violence, unjustly blamed for the spread of the COVID-19 virus. A report issued by the Stop AAPI Hate Reporting Center documented 3,795 cases of Anti-Asian incidents from March 2020 through February 2021. Sadly, the violence has continued and in some parts of our nation even increased in recent weeks. The hate has been spread across every age range, with even the elderly and young children being impacted. CAPS stands against anti-Asian hate and violence, not in isolation, but in solidarity with the ongoing hate and violence against Black, Indigenous, Latinx, immigrant, sexual/gender and religious minority communities, and we reaffirm our support to the health, healing, and hope of our community.
CAPS is open during regular business hours, providing all services through telehealth. 24/7 crisis support is available by phone at 310-825-0768
In addition to our regular services, we want to make available other resources that may be of help during these challenging times:

Free bystander intervention training to stop anti-Asian/American and xenophobic harassment
