Last month, special guest and Prevention Advocate Rachel Sedgwick joined our monthly board meeting as a staff spotlight. She shared how she uses prevention education to strengthen our role as partners in ending s*xual violence. All across Pierce and Kitsap county, Rachel facilitates interactive workshops and gives age-appropriate presentations to youth K-12 and college students and staff. She meets youth where they are—in classrooms, after-school programs, and community spaces—and also connects with victim-survivors during hospital calls, through our 24/7 Helpline, and as a facilitator for our survivor support groups. Her work creates space for meaningful conversations about safety, boundaries, healthy relationships, and more. Rachel has been with us for 8 months now and we are beyond grateful to have her on our team!

We’re proud to be able to highlight the amazing work our staff do and get them acquainted with our board who supports them. Thank you for all of your hard work Rachel! Stay tuned for next month's staff spotlight…

Our next series of victim-survivor support groups are being organized right now and will kick off on February 11 and 25!

Sign up for the first round of pre-screenings happening the week of January 26th!

This is a free open group that will be led by a Victim Advocate and will meet for two-hour sessions online or in person on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month starting February. Find community with people who share your experiences while receiving support on your unique healing journey.

We want to take a moment to thank the incredible foundations and organizations that supported us in 2025!

We are deeply grateful for the new relationships we’ve established and the ongoing partnerships we’ve strengthened over the years. These allies share our commitment to supporting victim-survivors, promoting healing, and addressing s*xual assault. Their generosity helps us create a strong community of support, allowing us to provide vital advocacy, therapy, and prevention education services that foster safety and healing across our community.

A heartfelt thank you again to all the amazing organizations mentioned above who continue to stand with us.

Accessibility is one of our core values, and our Street Outreach efforts are one way we meet victim-survivors where they are. Each month, our STEP Advocates head into Tacoma and the greater Pierce County area to connect with unhoused neighbors, offering hygiene items, seasonal supplies, snacks, and information about our services. Many victim-survivors face limited housing options or increased vulnerability to exploitation, making consistent outreach especially important.

Street Outreach is about more than supplies—it’s about showing up with care, building trust, and creating pathways to support. We are proud to be able to partner with organizations like The Coffee Oasis and the South End Neighborhood Council to reach even more community members.

If you’d like to support this work, consider donating through our Amazon Wish List here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/LUXAIO6SO1LX/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex? You can order from our list of much-needed supplies just like any other online purchase—just be sure to select “Rebuilding Hope Gift Registry Address” at checkout so items ship directly to our headquarters. The holiday season may be over, but it’s still a great time to give–especially to support victim-survivors also facing the coldest season outside. Thank you for helping us extend hope and care to those who need it most.

Looking for a supportive and confidential therapy group for the new year? We’ve got you!

We are inviting those interested in our S*xual Assault Treatment Group to register so we can schedule sessions at times that work best for participants. This in-person therapy 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, without the need to share stories.

Groups meet four times over two-week closed sessions and are held in Pierce and Kitsap counties. Dates and times scheduled based on participant availability. The cost is $40, with a sliding fee scale available for those who need it.

Registration is available through our “Victim-Survivor Healing Group Page” here https://rebuildinghope.org/groups/. For more information, please email our Clinical Director, Stephanie Sacks, at stephanie@rebuildinghope.org.

We’re so excited to share that we exceeded our goal for our Hope for the Holidays Campaign and raised over $23,000! A huge thank you to everyone who contributed—your support makes it possible for us to provide vital advocacy, therapy, and prevention education services to victim-survivors and their loved ones.

We are deeply inspired by the generosity and solidarity of our community. Every gift, no matter the size, helps ensure victim-survivors have access to trauma-informed care that supports their individual paths of healing.

Together, we’re showing the power of hope in action—strengthening communities, fostering connection, and creating lasting change for those affected by s*xual assault.

January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month—a time to raise awareness and learn how to recognize and prevent s*x and labor exploitation. We also take this moment to acknowledge the many organizations, advocates, and partners working across our communities to combat trafficking.

This year, we want to shout out the Summit Advancing Freedom from Exploitation happening on January 9, 2026. We encourage you to attend to learn how to recognize trafficking and how to respond.

Summit Advancing Freedom from Exploitation (S.A.F.E. 3)
Hosted by the Rotary Club of Tacoma South and Compassion Washington Ministries, this community-centered summit is open to all and covers how to identify trafficking, report concerns, and access resources.
📅January 9, 2026 | 🕐 9:30 AM–4:00 PM
📍1320 Auburn Way S
Auburn, WA 98002
Register ($25 fee, lunch provided): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/summit-advancing-freedom-from-exploitation-tickets-1783230884579

At Rebuilding Hope, we offer specialized advocacy and case management for Pierce County residents experiencing or at risk of s*x trafficking through our S*x Trafficking and Exploitation Program (STEP). Learn more on our website under Services or call our 24/7 Helpline at 1-855-757-7273.

For support in Kitsap County, we encourage contacting our partners at Scarlet Road. For labor trafficking support, resources include API Chaya, Northwest Immigrant Rights Project, Northwest Justice Project, or the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or via live chat on their website. If you’re not sure what resource might be best for your situation, you can always start with our Helpline and our Advocates will help you find what works for you.

Let’s stand together as a community to identify, respond to, and prevent human trafficking, because everyone deserves freedom and safety.
