R.I.S.E. is an apostolate of the Archdiocese dedicated to affirming and working to uphold the inherent human dignity of survivors of sexual assault and human trafficking while advocating for their healing through education, counseling partnerships, and training of church leadership for spiritual accompaniment. We accomplish this with prayer intercession and with loving service. With clinical assistance from faith-based counseling services, healing comes when victims of assault see who they are as a child of God. The deacons and volunteers are establishing a resource network for satisfying basic living needs of victims emerging from the trauma of an abusive environment, and a website to facilitate awareness and communication. They host training seminars to educate the community on the warning signs of sexual abuse and human trafficking and provide awareness resources appropriate for middle school, high school, and college students. They also participate in the hands-on work of restoring dignity to victims through self-giving friendship, reflecting the loving care of Jesus to the injured and marginalized.
