SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY (November 6, 2013) – In an effort to raise awareness about domestic violence, Catskill Regional Medical Center’s Rape 
Intervention Services and Education (RISE) program, along with the Safe Passage Domestic Violence program, teamed up to educate the community about the services available for individuals and families who are struggling with domestic abuse.
The RISE program of Sullivan County, with locations at both the Harris and Callicoon Campuses, advocates for men, women, and children who are or have been a victim of sexual violence. RISE provides individual and group counseling, and advocacy and accompaniment services to the emergency room, police station, and court appearances. The Program maintains a 24-hour rape and sexual assault helpline by dialing 845-791-9595. Trained staff and volunteers provide callers with emergency crisis intervention, crisis counseling as well as information and referrals.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Intimate partner violence is a serious, preventable public health problem that affects millions of Americans. The term "intimate partner violence" describes physical, sexual, or psychological harm by a current or former partner or spouse. The Safe Passage Domestic Violence program also maintains a 24-hour domestic violence hotline that provides crisis intervention, support and information and referrals. 
Additionally they provide advocacy, counseling, safe dwelling, a children’s program, community education and outreach and support groups. The Safe Passage 24-hour hotline is 845-292-5700.
The RISE program provides free educational and or training programs to schools, community and professional organizations. The Program is committed to improving the health and safety of our community through prevention and education.
