Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery



The Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery was founded in 1987 in memory of Vanessa Behan, who died from child abuse injuries at the age of two. The cause of death was a ruptured bowel caused by a blow to her abdomen. An autopsy revealed that during her short life, Vanessa had suffered many previous injuries, including a fractured arm, head trauma from having her hair pulled and twisted, a fractured skull... and cigarette burns.

The tragedy of Vanessa's death outraged and saddened the Spokane community. A handful of people initiated a grassroots effort to create a safe place where parents could bring their children any time they are having difficulty providing them with safe and nurturing care.

Since then, the Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery has served as a safe haven for more than 66,000 children.
