The Crisis We're Addressing

In 2024, Spokane County recorded a domestic violence offense rate of 18.7 per 1,000 residents — more than double the Washington State average of 8.1.

​

In a single year, domestic violence contributed to nearly $12 million in medical costs in Spokane County alone.

​

Only 16% of local DV victims currently receive help.

​

That means 84% of survivors are navigating crisis, danger, and trauma without any support at all.

​

Existing systems are essential. But they are built to catch people after the fall.

​

Sexess is built to prevent the fall from happening — and to support survivors when it does.

​

What Impact Actually Looks Like

Not bullet points. People.

​

A survivor who has safe housing tonight instead of going back to danger. A person who can finally name what was done to them without drowning in shame that was never theirs to carry. Someone who learned to recognize coercive patterns before they escalated — and didn't need a hotline because they never needed to escape.

​

That's what impact looks like.

Here's how we measure it:

For individuals: Increased consent literacy and understanding of relational dynamics. Improved boundary-setting confidence. Enhanced communication skills that hold up under pressure. Greater personal accountability. Healthier relationship decision-making over time.

​

For survivors specifically, stabilization, structured support, reduction in internalized shame, and reconnection with personal agency that abuse tried to permanently take.

​

For the community: Increased relational literacy across Spokane County. Reduced stigma around trauma and survival. Stronger early-intervention awareness. Fewer 911 calls, hospital visits, court cases, and children growing up inside cycles of harm.

​

Prevention isn't soft work. It's the most cost-effective intervention available. Every person who learns to recognize danger before it escalates represents a cascade of harm that doesn't happen.

​

For the system: Sexess develops research-informed frameworks built for responsible adaptation. The model is evidence-informed, measurable, and designed so that what works here can work elsewhere — other cities, other communities, other populations that the current system isn't reaching.

​

We're building in Spokane. We're building for everywhere.
