REACH, formerly the Center Against Sexual Assault of Southwest Riverside County (C.A.S.A.), is dedicated to supporting survivors of sexual & domestic violence, childhood trauma and abuse, and human trafficking. Services are survivor-centered, trauma-informed, and empowerment-based. REACH offers professional counseling to address the impacts of trauma. Additionally, we provide crisis intervention, emotional support, legal and medical information, case management and safety planning. Advocates can join and support survivors during forensic exams, law enforcement interviews, and court hearings. Services are free and confidential for survivors of all ages. Mission: We intentionally foster deep resilience in our community. We support children, adolescents, and adults in adapting to and overcoming trauma and adversity through prevention and healing services, to reach their potential. Vision: Relationships built on dignity, respect, trust, compassion, and equity.
