What We Do

Through counseling, support groups, legal and medical advocacy, shelter services and more, the YWCA Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Resource Center ensures that women and children have access to what they need to begin rebuilding their lives after violence.

Sexual assault is an act of violence and a crime. It includes any involuntary sexual act in which a person is threatened, coerced, or forced to engage against their will, or any sexual touching of a person who has not consented. Sexual assault is always the perpetrator’s fault, never the victim’s.

YWCA Walla Walla offers a 24/7 crisis line, connecting survivors and community members to immediate support, safety planning, and resources. Compassionate advocates are always available to listen and help in times of need.

YWCA offers personalized safety planning to help survivors of domestic violence prepare for and navigate dangerous situations. Advocates work one-on-one to identify risks, explore options, and create practical steps tailored to each individual’s needs.

YWCA Walla Walla provides safe, confidential shelter for individuals and families escaping domestic violence. Our shelter offers security, support, and resources to help survivors begin their journey toward healing and stability.
