We provide a comfortable, home-like atmosphere, compassionate counseling, and practical aid.<\/p>\n<h3>Community-Based Advocacy<\/h3>\n<p>Advocates help survivors create tangible plans to keep themselves physically and emotionally safe when abusive incidents happen, find a job or housing, access benefits, and accompany them to court. Most importantly, we listen to them and believe them.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prevention and Education<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The best way to eliminate domestic violence is to change social norms and promote healthy relationships. REACH trains students and community members on what trauma is, and how to be allies and create trauma-sensitive classrooms and workplaces.
