RIA provides free, confidential peer mentorship, clinical therapy, support groups, and rental and financial assistance to adult survivors of sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation living 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, emotionally, and spiritually.
RIA walks with people as they feel valued, seen, and loved.
Peer Mentorship
Personalized guidance that builds trust and power on the healing journey.
Clinical Therapy
Compassionate, trauma-informed counseling, including EMDR, that nurtures emotional healing and resilience.
Sustainability
Financial support to build lasting stability and economic independence.
