Agency info
YWCA Spokane
Since 1903, YWCA Spokane has been helping women and children overcome social, economic, and personal barriers in order to accomplish their goals and achieve healthier and more fulfilling lives. Today, our areas of focus include supporting victims of intimate partner domestic violence (DV) regardless of gender, fostering economic advancement of women, and promoting early childhood education and support for families. In addition to providing free, confidential, and trauma-informed programs and services, YWCA is also focused on breaking generational cycles of violence and confronting racial and social justice issues impacting our clients and our community and serving as a voice for what is right, fair, and just. We embrace our mission through a continuum of wrap-around services including: - 24-hour helpline services, - confidential safe shelter services, - safety planning and mental health therapy, - child advocacy and youth prevention work, - civil legal assistance and legal advocacy for survivors, - financial education and advocacy, - job training, mentorship, and skill building opportunities. In addition, we offer innovative low-barrier solutions for people in need of a home, which include homelessness prevention, diversion, rapid re-housing, transitional housing, and longer-term permanent supportive housing. Our early childhood education and early care programs for low-income families provide children with holistic, evidence-based support designed to prepare them for success with elementary school and beyond. We empower survivors to choose treatment pathways that best meet their needs and align with their safety concerns. By working at the intersections of inequality, poverty, and domestic violence, YWCA Spokane is able to disrupt longstanding societal patterns of trauma.
