RESOURCING AND REFERRAL

Raindrops Rising operates a free, 24/7, anonymous crisis line for survivors seeking peer support or crisis referral. Through our community funding, we are able to manage the hard work of finding vital resources, and often, with the survivor’s approval, facilitate initial contact through direct communication. Services offered by Raindrops Rising will never cost a survivor. For outsource resourcing, we will always evaluate and prioritize free or low cost options. This crisis line is survivor ran and operated, with trained advocates ready to listen.

ADVOCACY

Raindrops Rising has a team of highly motivated and professionally trained advocates who are dedicated to supporting survivors of sexual violence and human sex trafficking. We work on behalf of and alongside those who have experienced any level of sexual violence and/or human sex trafficking; providing assistance, education, referrals and backing on local and national levels. We offer direct in-court and in-hospital advocacy. Our advocates ensure timely responses and thorough processing. The survivor comes first, and it is our job to provide them with informed and competent care. We vow to amplify survivor voices in all spaces and uphold the promise that no one should have to fight alone.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING

Our foundation believes that change is possible through evidence-based professional training and informed development. At our core, we know that the best way to beat statistics is to educate the individuals who have been entrusted with the care of those who have survived sexual violence and human sex trafficking so that they may further understand the gravity of the situation. We offer courses to organizations, institutions, law enforcement and first responders, public school systems, and whomever else might request our services. We offer education on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to: risk factors, risk management, identification and assessment, interventions, empathetic disclosures, cognitive dissonance, behavior, and treatment. Our certified advocates specialize in trauma-informed questioning and disclosure processes.

AWARENESS

A significant goal of our foundation is to raise awareness regarding sexual violence. When our team began working on this foundation, we quickly realized that the awareness levels were far too low. In general, the public was unaware that every 68 seconds in America there is a violent sexual assault. Knowing this, we decided to do everything in our power to fix that. Every single person who walks away from our panel, presentation, or resource table with more knowledge than they had before contributes to the change we want to establish. Contact our Board of Directors for more information!

COMMUNITY COLLABORATION

As a foundation, Raindrops Rising will always understand that this fight cannot be won by any one force. Therefore, we will never not be open to collaborations with other organizations and causes. Teamwork is powerful, and standing by our mission does not hinder us from working with others towards a common goal.
