Support Within Reach

Today, thousands of Minnesota families are affected by 
sexual abuse, exploitation, and trafficking.

Together, we can change that.

Support Within Reach (SWR) works passionately to reduce the impact and harm of sexual violence 
in the rural North-Central region of Minnesota, where victims/survivors struggle to find readily accessible resources and aid.  SWR partners with local law enforcement, attorneys, medical professionals, and community partners to ensure that victims/survivors are met with trauma-informed, victim-centered support and care.

SWR is the largest stand-alone sexual violence resource and 
advocacy center in Minnesota and the second oldest in the state.

to survivors of sexual violence and preventative education to the community. Some services including:

24/7 Crisis Hotline
One-on-One Peer Support

Everyone deserves to feel safe.
Everyone deserves justice.
No one should walk this journey alone.

Support Within Reach (SWR) is overwhelmed with gratitude towards our funders, volunteers, and community partners - all in whom are what makes this mission achievable. 
Through a passionate spirit of collaboration and justice advanced by your generous donations, SWR will be able to continue fighting to end sexual violence in northern Minnesota.
