On Thursday, May 23, over 100 supporters of REACH joined\nstaff and Board members at the Massachusetts Medical Society<\/a>\nfor REACH\u2019s Annual Meeting.  This event is an opportunity for volunteers,\nactivists, donors, survivors, community leaders and service providers to come\ntogether to share the successes and challenges of reaching beyond domestic\nviolence.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the reception hour, in addition to a light dinner generously provided by the Massachusetts Medical Society, tables were positioned around the room highlighting how we do our work through the lens of the Full Frame Initiative\u2019s<\/a> Five Domains of Wellbeing model and why it matters. REACH staff engaged guests in conversation about these domains of wellbeing: Social Connectedness, Stability, Safety, Mastery, and Meaningful Access to Relevant Resources. REACH uses the Full Frame Approach to support survivors in identifying their concerns, access resources to address concerns and goals, and enhance safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program for the evening included remarks by Executive Director\nLaura Van Zandt, updating on the organization. In addition to welcoming new\nmembers of REACH’s Board of Directors and saying goodbye to those stepping\ndown, Van Zandt also highlighted how we truly believe that change is possible\nand how we can all impact change through the words we use, the actions we\nendorse, and the choices we make.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the annual update was the presentation of the\n2019 Voice for Justice Awards honoring two amazing women who have\npartnered with REACH. Katya Fels Smyth, who received the Mary Young Award, is\nthe founder and CEO of the Full Frame Initiative, described on their website as\n\u201ca social change organization that partners with pioneering organizations<\/em>, systems and\ncommunities across the country to fundamentally shift their focus from fixing\nproblems to fostering wellbeing.” Our work as a domestic violence\nintervention and prevention organization has been shaped by our collaboration\nwith the Full Frame Initiative and we were honored to have Katya join us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kathy Brophy, the recipient of The Ruth and Virginia\nBigwood Award, has been in service to youth and school communities for\ndecades. Kathy has been in the Health and Wellness field for the past 26 years\nand is in her 12th year as a Fitness and Health Teacher at Wellesley High\nSchool. Kathy has worked closely with REACH Beyond Domestic Violence through\nthe facilitation of the \u201cPower\nUp\u201d<\/strong> class offered to students at Wellesley High School. Power\nUp, which is centered around \u201cConfidence-Power-Safety,\u201d is a semester long\nclass built on a self-defense framework. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art work created by Wellesley High School students who participated in the “Power Up” class facilitated by this year’s Ruth and Virginia Bigwood Voice for Justice Award Winner, Kathy Brophy, was also displayed during the reception hour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

REACH Board Chair Stephen Langlois closed the meeting with gratitude and an invitation to get involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
