Support Within Reach

We will reopen on December 27th.

“About 43 percent of sexual assault events involve alcohol use by the victim; 69 percent involve alcohol use by the perpetrator (Alcohol.org, 2022).” For any questions, please contact us at either 1-800-708-2727 or 1-866-747-5008.

Minnesota’s Safe Harbor Law ensures young people who are sexually exploited are treated as victims and survivors, not criminals. Through the No Wrong Door model, these youth can receive trauma-informed support rather than being treated as juvenile delinquents.

If you or someone you know needs additional support, please contact one of our advocates at the following numbers: 1-800-708-2727 for Bagley, Bemidji, Park Rapids, and Walker. 1-866-747-5008 for Aitkin and Grand Rapids.

The legal definition of mandated reporting is any individual who holds a professional position that requires them to report to appropriate state agencies cases of child abuse that have reasonable cause to suspect is a mandated reporter.

Last year Support within Reach had the opportunity to start a girls’ group with the school social worker from a Cass County School. The group size varied from 4 to 8 girls weekly and it was a wonderful opportunity for everyone involved. The group is starting up again this year.

Support Within Reach provides medical advocacy for victims of sexual assault. Listed below is how advocates advocate for you while at the hospital. • Offer accompaniment and support during and after the exam • Explain the process of the exam, its purpose, and approximate time.

Thank you, @Enbridge, for your support!
