About RIA

Three words. One steady promise: Ready, Inspire, Act.

Our story

Founded in 2014. Built on presence.

RIA, Inc. began with a simple, stubborn idea: that adults navigating the commercial sex trade deserve company, not commentary. Headquartered in Framingham with an office in Worcester, we serve Greater Boston, MetroWest, and Central Massachusetts.

Our model is called accompaniment. Peer-led. Trauma-informed. Survivor-engaged at every level. We don't rescue. We walk alongside — and the path is yours to set.

The logo says the rest: a sun rising across the sky, a person in a moment of transition, three figures side by side. Ready. Inspire. Act.
