Together we'll Rise Above Violence
Rise promotes the belief that all people have the right to live free from violence by providing support and advocacy services for victims as well as education for youth and our community. Through support and advocacy services, victims/survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault receive comprehensive help from crisis through healing.
From emergency 24-hour response, to long-term financial support for housing, legal representation and court accompaniment, advocates work to ensure safety and stability of victims and their children.
In 2022, advocates served 451 victims, a 52% increase from 2021, answering 2,531 calls for help and providing 2,699 nights of safety.
Beyond victim services, Rise works to prevent violence before it starts. Our youth violence prevention education reaches students from elementary through high school, addressing anti-bullying and internet safety for younger students, to healthy relationships for dating youth. Last year, nearly 700 students participated in 238 violence prevention activities.
