What We Do
Our Advocacy Services
Advocacy is available to clients who want to meet one-on-one with an advocate. Sessions are available on a walk-in or scheduled basis during business hours and are confidential. These sessions are strength and empowerment-based and include:
- Emotional support
- Identifying coping skills and problem-solving
- Information about the effects of trauma and victimization
- Referrals to other community resources such as housing, medical treatment, and counseling
- Safety planning
- Assistance reporting to law enforcement
- Assistance with filing protection orders and other court forms
- Court preparation and accompaniment
Crisis Intervention
Legacy of Healing advocates can provide in-person crisis intervention immediately after a crime occurs. Advocates will co-respond with law enforcement to provide support to victims and survivors and will also accompany survivors to emergency medical care and forensic nurse exams.
Legal Assistance
Legacy of Healing advocates are not attorneys and cannot provide legal advice, but they may support survivors throughout their civil or criminal cases. This type of support may include:
- Accompanying clients to civil and criminal court proceedings
- Accompanying clients to interviews with law enforcement, prosecutors, and defense counsel
- Providing clients with information and updates related to their case
- Education about civil or criminal legal processes
- Assistance with filing protection orders, parenting plans, or other court forms
- Referrals for legal representation
Legacy of Healing works with the Tulalip Office of Civil Legal Aid (TOCLA). It can refer eligible survivors to the Victim Advocate Attorney for representation in domestic violence and sexual assault protection order cases.

- Basic needs assistance (food, clothing, hygiene, transportation)
- Emergency hotel stays
- Rental and move-in assistance
Eligibility
We provide services to Tulalip Tribal members, members of other federally recognized Tribes residing in Snohomish County, and non-Native residents of the Tulalip Reservation on a case-by-case basis.
