parishes of Lafayette, Acadia, Vermilion, Iberia, St. Martin, St.
Landry and Evengeline.
What?: Stuller Place is a

Abuse Response Center provides a 24 hour crisis line, advocacy in local
emergency rooms and crisis intervention counseling for children and
adults; Childrens Advocacy Center provides a child friendly environment
where a forensic interview and mental health services for children ages
2-17 can be conducted when abuse allegations are investigated; and SANE
provides a forensically trained nurse to conduct and document skillful
forensic evidence collection with compassionate care when a patient
makes a disclosure of sexual assault.
When?: Stuller Place is a
full time service, seven days a week/ year round.
Who?: SARC began in 1981
as the Rape Crisis Center with CAC originally opening its doors in
1996. Stuller Place merged these two programs in 1999 and is currently
headed by Faith Moody, Executive Director. Parishioner Joeann Dalton is
the Supervisor of SANE.
