Our Services
Advocacy
Advocacy is available for people who are unhoused or street-dependent in Thurston County who have experienced domestic violence, sexual violence, sex trafficking human trafficking, identity based violence or hate crimes. We prioritize providing advocacy to those who are BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, or People of Color) or LGBTQ2+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer.) Through advocates, you can access emotional support or assistance to clarify issues, solve problems, identify barriers to safety, and develop safety checking and planning skills.
Holistic Services
​PiPE’s Holistic Services program actively works to bring services offered by PiPE and the larger social services community together, to ensure that holistic services are accessible to those who need them. The goal of this program is to create access points to many different services, and to be knowledgeable about potential barriers to care, so that we can support participants in getting their holistic needs met in culturally appropriate, harm reductive ways. This program has a focus on healing from systemic violence and harm for our participants.
