We provide free and confidential advocacy services to victims, survivors, loved ones, and witnesses of traumatic events. We provide these services regardless of whether or not the incident was reported to law enforcement or is being prosecuted. Victim advocacy offers support, information and referral to resources, and specific wrap-around support so people can make informed and empowered decisions.

Our goal is to help adults and children who have been affected by trauma regain their personal power. Please call us any time. We are here to answer your questions and support you.

Some of our Services Include:

Sexual Assault & Medical Advocacy

Anyone may call our 24-hour support line for support and information. We provide 24-hour hospital response to local emergency rooms and provide in-person advocacy to anyone seeking a medical exam or evidence collection. We can support you in making informed decisions about medical care related to a trauma. Under Washington Law survivors of sexual assault have the right to an advocate or support person present during medical and legal proceedings.

Legal Advocacy

We can provide information and support throughout civil and criminal systems. We assist with protection orders. We also coordinate between law enforcement and the prosecutor’s office and provide in-person support throughout including detective interviews, defense interviews, trials, and sentencing hearings.

Safety Planning

We are here to discuss options, provide resources and make a plan that is right for you. Please check out THIS LINK for more information about safety and technology.

Support Groups

We offer psycho-educational support groups. Groups are an effective tool in giving hope and providing support, validation, connection, healing, and empathy.  At the core of all sexual assault trauma is disempowerment and disconnection. Groups can assist in key factors to recovery, including empowerment and connection. Please contact us to add your name to our interest list. 

Community Education

We offer training to professionals, organizations and other groups who want to learn more about our services and the effects of trauma. Please contact us to learn more or request a training.
