Mission

REACH is committed to advancing the safety, healing, and empowerment of those who experience domestic or relationship violence, through direct services and education while promoting social justice for individuals and families of all backgrounds.

Programs

REACH serves over 5,000 people in Greater Boston each year through a number of comprehensive services that include a 90-day emergency shelter, 24-hour toll-free hotline services, support groups, children's programs, teen dating violence education, victim advocacy, legal advocacy, and community outreach and education.

Refuge: We provide shelter and safe home to survivors and their children who have been traumatized by domestic violence.  Comprehensive support services are available to shelter guests, including counseling, assistance in obtaining longer-term housing and employment, and legal advocacy. 

 

Education: Through community-based education and prevention efforts, we foster healthy relationships and increased awareness of abuse in the community, in order to put a stop to violence before it occurs.

 

Advocacy: Our residential and community advocates use a survivor-centered, relational model of advocacy, helping survivors plan for their safety, access benefits, and explore options for housing and employment. 

 

Change:  Our overall educational goal is to end domestic violence through community education and early intervention, so that individuals and families of all backgrounds are empowered to lead healthier, safer lives.
