Recovery

Sexess provides trauma-informed recovery services for survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse in Spokane County.

Recovery focuses on restoring stability, agency, and relational confidence after harm has occurred.

​

Survivor Support Services (Spokane County)

Sexess offers direct assistance, including:

• Trauma-informed coaching

• Safe stays for individuals escaping danger

• Financial stabilization assistance

• Legal and resource navigation support

• Sexual health and unintended pregnancy education

• Suicide prevention support

Services are coordinated to reduce fragmentation and improve stability during crisis and transition.

​

Trauma-Informed Practice

Recovery services are grounded in:

• Respect for survivor autonomy

• Clear communication and consent

• Emotional regulation skill development

• Relational rebuilding strategies

Shame and guilt frequently follow abuse. Recovery restores clarity, dignity, and confidence in decision-making.

​

Coordinated Support Model

Survivors often encounter disconnected systems. Sexess works to:

• Reduce delays in stabilization

• Improve access to safe housing pathways

• Strengthen survivor navigation of legal and healthcare systems

• Provide structured relational skill development alongside crisis support

Recovery is not only immediate stabilization — it is long-term relational restoration.

Measuring Recovery Impact

Sexess evaluates recovery efforts through:

• Increased stability and safety planning

• Improved self-reported agency and boundary-setting

• Successful connection to coordinated community resources

• Reduction in crisis recurrence among participants

Our goal is sustainable recovery, not temporary intervention.
