REACH provides free, confidential support to survivors of domestic violence. We operate an emergency shelter, and answer hotline calls 24/7 for people in crisis or anyone with questions. We assist survivors in finding longer-term housing and counsel for legal issues. We also provide therapy to children up to age 18 who have witnessed or experienced domestic violence, and specialized support for their parents. Our prevention team trains a wide variety of organizations and communities, including police departments, medical professionals, social service agencies, military personnel, local businesses and corporations, schools, and faith organizations on how to recognize and prevent abuse, and promote healthy relationships. REACH also trains employers in creating policies that support employees who are survivors of domestic violence, in compliance with state law. Through this work, REACH serves more than 7,000 people annually, including women, men, people of all races and ethnicities, survivors of all ages, and people who are LGBTQ.

REACH Beyond Domestic Violence provides safety and support to survivors of domestic abuse, and empowers community members to promote healthy relationships.

What are the warning signs of an abusive relationship? What should a teen who’s new to dating do to build healthy relationship skills? What’s the best way for adults to support them? How young is too young to start talking about healthy relationships? With the conflicting messages about Title IX in the news lately, what responsibility do colleges have to prevent sexual assault? All of these are questions that REACH hears (and answers!) every day.

Our prevention programs have grown by 70% over the past three years. We are working to promote healthy relationships at all phases of life – expanding this year into middle schools and continuing to work in high schools and on college campuses. With your help, our staff of three prevention professionals gave a total of 305 presentations last year to 7,343 people. Together, we are getting the word out about healthy relationships and preventing domestic violence. This year, sexual assault, harassment, and power dynamics have been a topic of conversation more than any other time in recent memory. When people are ready to have those challenging conversations, REACH is there to facilitate them.

Whether you donated to support our prevention programs, hosted an event or a training, or shared one of our posts on social media, you were part of this historic moment and this historic year as together we took one step closer to reaching beyond domestic violence.

EducationYour support has helped to make our shelter a place of new beginnings. Someone living in an abusive home is often so focused on survival – day to day, even moment to moment, that there’s no time to breathe. By supporting our shelter program, you gave survivors a place of safety and refuge, where they can build a relationship with an advocate they trust. You created space where they could really stop and think about what they want for themselves and for their children.

When we work with survivors in shelter we look to leading research in the field of human services. We see people as more than just the abuse they’ve experienced. This means addressing all aspects of what makes us whole and well as people – not just physical safety but things like connections: connections to other people, to resources, to activities that give us a sense of accomplishment. At the same time, we recognize that coming to a shelter often involves giving up other things, and we work with survivors to minimize the impact of those tradeoffs.

This year we’ve seen shelter guests go back to school, enter the work force, move into new apartments, gain legal immigration status, or enroll in treatment programs for substance use. Since every person and every relationship is different, success looks different for each shelter guest. REACH staff members are there to make sure that a survivor knows the options available to them, and to support each survivor in the choices they make for themselves.

It was an incredibly busy year for REACH’s ever-growing, ever-changing Community Based Advocacy Program. The challenging national climate, particularly around immigration, made for a difficult year at the local level – especially for the immigrant survivors who look to REACH for safety and support. Immigrant survivors of domestic violence face additional obstacles, whether because of isolation, language barriers, lack of understanding of the U.S. legal system, or distrust of law enforcement. All of these become additional tools that an abuser can use to isolate their victim. Over the years, you have made it possible for us to become a trusted resource in the local immigrant community. That trust has become more important than ever, with conflicting messages and rhetoric adding to survivors’ confusion and isolation. They know they can turn to REACH for help staying safe, and access to legal resources about their rights.

We have also been able to expand the services we offer to the youngest victims of domestic violence. With new expertise in our Child and Adolescent Therapy Program, we have been able to offer exciting new approaches using art therapy to address early, often pre-verbal, trauma that children experience in abusive homes. By using art to unlock these deepest emotions and memories, we are beginning to repair the damage that comes from witnessing or experiencing violence in the home. This innovative work would not be possible without the support of generous donors who share our belief that children deserve to feel safe and loved, and deserve the opportunity to lead healthy emotional lives.

This was a year of big changes for us! With your help, we have completely transformed the look and feel of the physical space of REACH. The support of generous corporate, foundation, and individual donors took us from a small, cramped space to a new, bright, clean, spacious office. Early firm funding commitments allowed us to search for the perfect spot and sign on the dotted line. You were with us every step of the way, from signing the lease, to sketching out the vision for the new space, to the buildout itself, right down to the furnishings. Every desk, chair, bulletin board, and even trash can was provided by a generous donor who believes in our work.

We now have the room to spread our wings. With your continued support, we estimate that our programs will expand by 50% over the next three to five years. That’s an additional 200 domestic violence survivors finding safety and support, and as many as 3,000 more people learning important ways to stop domestic violence before it starts. With multiple meeting spaces we can hold trainings, support groups, and team meetings simultaneously, and make more community resources (such as legal clinics) available to survivors. None of this transformation would have been possible without your help.
