“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.
