\n\t\tHow We Do Our Work…And why it matters\n\t<\/h1>\n\t

REACH provides survivors of domestic violence with safety, shelter, and a path to healing. Our innovative, community-based approach promotes healthy relationships, fosters collaboration, and empowers community members to be agents of change.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tThe REACH Way\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

To support the unique needs of each survivor and develop comprehensive solutions to end domestic violence, REACH focuses on four key areas of advocacy.<\/p>\n\t\t

Safety & Shelter<\/h3>

Our emergency shelter program provides survivors with safe, immediate housing and resources.<\/p>\n\t\t

Individual-Based Advocacy Work<\/h3>

Through our individual-based advocacy program, our team supports survivors as they regain their independence.<\/p>\n\t\t

Education & Prevention<\/h3>

To help prevent domestic violence and raise awareness, REACH leads discussions and trainings in schools, businesses, and other communal spaces.<\/p>\n\t\t

Community Engagement<\/h3>

Our outreach programs engage with community members to create locally based solutions to end domestic violence.<\/p>\n\t

OUR MISSION<\/strong><\/h3>\n

REACH works with survivors of domestic violence to foster safety and support while engaging communities to promote healthy relationships.<\/p>\n

OUR VISION<\/h3>\n

Healthy and safe relationships for individuals and communities.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tOur Core Values\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Driving our mission to create a world without domestic violence, our values run deep.<\/p>\n\t

    \n
  1. \n

    We Are All in This Together<\/h3>\n

    We do our work as part of a larger movement. We are collaborative, supporting one another in task and spirit.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    We Care for Ourselves and One Another<\/h3>\n

    We recognize that survivors, staff, and volunteers are more than the trauma they have experienced or the job functions they perform. Wellbeing stems from feeling grounded in our lives and work.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    How We Do Our Work Matters<\/h3>\n

    The respectful, equitable relationships we work for in the world have to start with us. We practice kindness and respect, and we commit to being present for survivors, colleagues, and our communities.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    We Believe Change Is Possible<\/h3>\n

    We educate communities and individuals to change social norms and systems of oppression in order to prevent and ultimately end domestic violence.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n\t\tOur Service Area\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

    Our hotline and shelter serve domestic violence survivors from Massachusetts and beyond. Our Community and Prevention programs focus on a primary service area consisting of 27 cities and towns. REACH serves all survivors regardless of race, ethnicity, immigration status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, or income level.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"service\n
