RIA provides free, confidential peer mentorship, clinical therapy, support groups, and housing assistance to adult survivors of sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation anywhere in Massachusetts.
What we do
We meet you where you are.
RIA offers skilled relationships that build trust, supporting the healing of adults in the aftermath of being bought and sold for someone else's sexual gratification. We meet you where you are — whether you're experiencing homelessness, living in a shelter, or somewhere stable.
Sexual exploitation robs people of their identities. It diminishes self-worth. It hurts, physically and emotionally.
RIA walks with people as they feel value and joy — as they are seen, and loved.
Therapy
Compassionate, trauma-informed counseling that nurtures emotional healing and resilience.
Sustainability
Skills and support to build lasting stability, financial independence, and a future.
