Dr. Beth and the Origin of the RIC

From sexual assault and trauma, to sex trafficking and addiction, to pregnancy, and ultimately finding a way back to myself. We are more than just our trauma and together, we can stand strong.

Need emergency shelter, a group, or drop-in center?

Please note: Only survivors will be provided with confidential location information of the center.
