WHAT WE DO
Working Towards Wholeness and Healing
RIA offers skilled relationships that build trust supporting the healing journey of adults, the majority of whom are female in the aftermath of being bought and sold for the sexual gratification of another person. RIA accompanies participants where they are in their lives, whether experiencing homelessness, living in a shelter, or in a more stable living situation. Sexual exploitation robs people of their born identities, it diminishes individuals’ self-esteem, and hurts physically and emotionally.
RIA walks with people as they feel value and joy, and are seen and loved.
PEER MENTORSHIP
Personalized guidance that fosters trust, growth, and empowerment on the healing journey.
THERAPY
Compassionate, trauma-informed counseling that nurtures emotional healing and resilience.
SUSTAINABILITY
Offering skills and support to build lasting stability, financial independence, and a brighter future.
