REACH

Sometimes the hardest part is not knowing what to call what happened to you.

Maybe you’ve never told anyone. Maybe you’ve barely let yourself think about it. Maybe you’re still trying to understand what happened and what it means.

You might feel angry, numb, ashamed, confused, or heartbroken. You might have questions you don’t know how to ask or feelings you were never taught how to make space for.

You don’t have to call yourself a survivor. You don’t have to tell your story. You don’t have to be ready to talk about it.

Acknowledging that something happened to you can be a process all its own. You deserve the time, space, and support to move through that process at your own pace.

Save this for when you need the reminder. Share it with someone who might need to hear it. And if you’re ready to talk, our confidential hotline is available through the link in our bio.

You don’t have to figure it all out today.

It can be deeply disorienting to find your footing after experiencing sexual violence.

You may be trying to figure out how to keep working, maintain relationships, pay your bills, care for your family, or simply get out of bed when your sense of safety has been shaken.

And healing doesn’t move in a straight line. A reminder, a memory, or a new realization can bring you back to something you thought you had already worked through. You may understand what happened differently as you heal, and sometimes that can be painful all over again.

None of this means you’re going backward.

At REACH, we understand that healing is complex. We’re here to help you navigate the moments that feel overwhelming and find your footing again, at your own pace.

There is no timeline for processing something that should never have happened.

Share this with someone who may need to hear it. Sometimes the person who needs support hasn’t found the words to ask for it yet. 🤍

The Red Zone is here. ❤️‍🩹

As students return to campus, we’re entering a time when sexual violence is more prevalent on college campuses. Prevention is something we can all be part of by looking out for one another, challenging harmful behaviors, and making sure survivors know where to turn for support.

Follow along with us throughout the fall as we talk about prevention, safety, and support. 💜

Sometimes the people who love us most don’t know how to sit with the enormity of what we’ve experienced.

Maybe you’ve tried to tell a friend or family member, only to find that they didn’t know what to say. Maybe they became overwhelmed, changed the subject, minimized what happened, or simply didn’t know how to be there with you.

That doesn’t mean your experience was too much. It means sometimes we need someone who has been trained to hold space for pain, grief, anger, confusion, and everything else that can come after sexual violence.

That’s what we’re here for.

REACH offers free, confidential support because cost should never be the reason someone goes without the care they need. Our advocates are here to listen, without judgment or expectations, and to support you as you find your way forward.

You don’t have to carry this alone.

If you need someone to talk to, reach out through the link in our bio. And if someone you love might need this kind of support, share this with them. 🤍

When someone trusts you enough to share their experience, knowing how to respond is the first step in their healing journey.

Focus on listening without judgment and affirming their courage. 💜

REACH is here for both survivors and their support systems. If you're not sure what to say or how to help, our advocates can provide guidance and resources.

Technology has changed the way people connect, but it has also created new ways for abuse to happen.
Technology-facilitated sexual violence can include sextortion, the nonconsensual sharing of intimate images, sexually threatening messages, online stalking, and other forms of digital abuse.
If this has happened to you, please know that you are not alone. REACH provides free and confidential advocacy, counseling, and support for survivors of sexual violence. Whether the abuse happened online, in person, or both, our advocates are here to listen and help you explore your options.

Stalkers often misuse technology to make sexual threats, plan sexually violent acts, share intimate images or videos, and/or otherwise humiliate, scare, and harm their victims. Estimates for technology-facilitated sexual violence included experiences such as sextortion and image-based sexual abuse.

There are many reasons a survivor may choose not to report, including concerns about safety, privacy, emotional wellbeing, or simply wanting time and space to process what happened.

No matter what choice a survivor makes, they deserve support, respect, and access to resources.

💜 If you or someone you know has experienced sexual violence, support is available.

For many survivors, gentle movement practices like yoga can support grounding, body awareness, stress reduction, and nervous system regulation. 💜 We love seeing free, accessible opportunities for community members to connect with themselves, their breath, and the outdoors in a supportive environment.
