Rural Resources Victim Services

Rural Resources Victim Services Victims suffer a tremendous amount of physical and emotional trauma. It may be difficult for you to reach out for help. What is a Victim Advocate?

We serve victims of abuse & crime in Stevens (956 S Main, Colville), Ferry (3328 Hall Creek Rd, Inchelium or by appointment), and Lincoln (by appointment) Counties in Northeastern WA. The primary injuries victims suffer can be grouped into three different categories: physical, financial and emotional. When victims do not receive the appropriate support and intervention in the aftermath of the cri

me, they may suffer “secondary” effects. But you will find that victim advocates can offer you information, support, and access to helpful services you might not know about. Victim advocates are professionals trained to support victims of crime. Advocates answer our Help Line and provide in-person emotional support. Advocates offer victims information, emotional support, and help finding resources and filling out paperwork. Advocates may also contact organizations, such as criminal justice or social service agencies, to get help or information for victims. Advocates go to court with victims.

The term Two Spirit is used by many indigenous communities to describe LGBTQ+ people.

Traditionally, Two Spirit people were valued members of their communities often serving as healers, medicine people, and knowledge holders.

Our tribal program provides cultural wellness services to indigenous clients, including Two Spirit relatives. If you're interested in hearing more about cultural wellness, give us a call.

Trafficking isn’t always obvious and can be overlooked if we don’t know the signs.

Here are a few red flags:
❌A person doesn’t have access to their own personal documents or identification
❌A person isn’t able to come and go freely from the place where they work/live
❌A person is providing labor or services under unclear conditions, or their work conditions keep changing

Trafficking often involves manipulation and coercion. A person may have sought out their job of their own free will before noticing that over time their power and choice over their own life has been stripped away.

Traffickers often use the internet to target young people. Here are some things you can do to protect your kids online:

💻Use privacy settings on social media: if your teen uses social media make sure that the privacy settings on their accounts prevent messaging with strangers.

🗣️Talk to your child about avoiding conversations online with people that they don’t know.

📞Report any inappropriate conversations between a child and an adult to law enforcement.
