Happy Halloween! This is your friendly reminder that no matter what day it is, a person’s clothing (or costume) does not imply, invite, or grant permission for unwanted contact, catcalling or other forms of sexual harassment or assault. Consent should always be willing, continuous, coherent, enthusiastic, and informed. We hope you have a fun and safe night of celebration!

We’re still offering our Sexual Assault Treatment Group!

We invite those interested to sign up so we can find the times that work best for them. This group uses Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP)—a brief form of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy that helps survivors process traumatic memories and reduce post-traumatic symptoms. This in-person group runs in two-week closed sessions with dates scheduled based on participant availability. The cost is $40, with a sliding fee scale available for those in need. Groups will be held in Pierce and Kitsap counties!

Registration is available here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdqgARy0gj-CGyb_AEFFrLJETcm1fOp2C6-woKVx12CzxppNQ/viewform?usp=dialog.
For more information, you can email our Clinical Director, Stephanie Sacks, at stephanie@rebuildinghope.org.

Please share with anyone who might be interested!

In honor of Indigenous People’s Day, we offer a humble acknowledgment to the original tribes whose lands were stolen from them that we have the privilege to reside and work on today, as well as the duty to preserve and to protect. Rebuilding Hope’s offices in Tacoma and Bremerton rest on lands originally belonging to the Puyallup (spuyaləpabš) and Suquamish (D'Suq'Wub) Tribes, respectively, and we work to serve community members across the Pierce and Kitsap County region that, for thousands of years, had been the original territory and home of the Puyallup (spuyaləpabš), Nisqually (dxʷsqʷaliʔabš), Squaxin Island (sqʷax̌sədabš), Muckleshoot (bəqəlšuɬ), Suquamish (D'Suq'Wub) and S’Klallam (Nux Sklai Yem) people.

If Rebuilding Hope upholds our mission to facilitate support and healing for victims of a physical violation, we must atone for the collective violation of the native people and lands which we endeavor to mutually share and protect with the descendants of those tribes.

Pictured here in the background is Chambers Bay in Tacoma which was originally the land of the Puyallup (spuyaləpabš) Tribe.

We encourage you to learn about, and reflect on, the Indigenous lands that you live and work on by looking up your address(es) at native-land.ca.

October is LGBTQ+ History Month—a time to honor the resilience, struggles, and triumphs of the LGBTQ+ community. Within this month, we also celebrate National Coming Out Day on October 11.

National Coming Out Day was founded by Jean O’Leary and Dr. Robert Eichberg and was first observed in 1988 to mark the one-year anniversary of the National March on Washington for Le***an and Gay Rights. Now, this day highlights the ongoing work of LGBTQ+ advocates who continue to provide resources, guidance, and support for those coming out and living as their authentic selves.

At Rebuilding Hope, we recognize the systems of oppression—such as homophobia and transphobia—that contribute to higher rates of sexual assault in the LGBTQ+ community. Coming out can be both an empowering experience as well as a difficult or dangerous one. We are committed to ensuring our services are accessible to everyone, especially those most impacted by oppression.

Homophobia, transphobia, and bigotry thrive in silence. By listening to and respecting LGBTQ+ voices, stories, and identities, we can help build stronger, safer, and more compassionate communities for all.

This month, we encourage you to learn more about LGBTQ+ history and the many ways it intersects with the anti-sexual assault movement. (See resources linked below!)

Today is World Mental Health Day, so we wanted to share some of the amazing ways we support victim-survivors through our Therapy Program!

Therapy is offered in English and Spanish to victim-survivors ages 13+ and their loved ones, both in person and virtually. All our therapists are master’s-level clinicians with specialized training in trauma treatment, and they use a variety of methods to support each client’s healing. Most clients engage in weekly sessions, and the length of treatment is based solely on the client’s unique needs.

In addition to our regular therapy sessions, we’ve recently introduced Sexual Assault Treatment Groups that use Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP)—a brief form of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Using visual worksheets, participants can work through their experiences without needing to share personal stories. We offer these groups to adult (18+) victim-survivors and their loved ones to provide a safe and private space to begin processing trauma using evidence-based intervention.

Last year, our team provided 2,809 hours of therapy to 168 victim-survivors, with 76% of clients accessing care through our generous sliding-fee scale. We also accept most private insurances. We are honored to walk alongside victim-survivors and develop new ways to support and accommodate them as they find pathways to healing and hope.

Pictured here is our amazing therapy team during a therapy retreat last month, including from left to right our Client Access Specialist Gabby, Therapist Madeline, Clinical Director Stephanie, Therapist Sara, and Therapist Yaritza. Together, they have over 50 years of experience supporting victim-survivors at Rebuilding Hope!

Whether an assault happened 30 minutes ago or 30 years ago, we're here for you when you're ready. To learn more about therapy services, call our 24/7 Helpline at 1-855-7577273.
