Mission Statement

To promote the elimination of sexual abuse by supporting pathways for those who have committed sexually based offenses to successfully reintegrate into society through healthy life choices. We provide resources, peer support, community education, and are developing focused research.

Description

Rise Above was created in 2022 to help those impacted by the ever changing, labyrinth of the Illinois registry and the many challenges that come with the responsibility. Those impacted are not only the people on the registry but, families, friends, co-workers, employers, landlords, religious institutions and communities at large.

• Develop and provide a Comprehensive Resource center for Employment, Housing, Essential Services, Support Services and Professional Services to empower people on the registry to maintain a stable living environment, earn wages and live a productive, successful, offense free life.
• Connect people on the registry and their family/friends with peer support through Fearless support groups and activities to sustain relationships and impact individuals and families through Profound Inspiration.
• Educate communities, businesses, organizations and municipalities with In-Depth Educationto dis-spell myths surrounding people on the registry, provide evidence based research that creates an understanding and safer environment for the community at large.
• Conduct and support research that expands the scope of current research and statistics by using a combination of research methods to provide detailed Expert Research in regards to sexual offenses and the impact on individuals, families and communities.
