Rise's Response to COVID-19 - (3/20/2020)

Edited to reflect new policy: 4/13/20

As an essential entity, Rise continues to provide comprehensive domestic violence services during New York State on PAUSE. Our shelter is fully operational and measures have been put in place to keep both residents and staff safe. Our other services are being provided remotely during this time, with advocacy by telephone/text/email, and therapeutic counseling by telephone.

We thank the community for their support in this challenging time. We know how much generosity and caring our community is capable of in normal times, and also that Broome has successfully gotten through plenty of hard times. We are all in this together, and together we can flatten the curve.
We are still committed to our mission of assisting families threatened by domestic violence, though our services have changed slightly in response to the novel coronavirus. If you are in need of assistance, please contact our 24-hour hotline at 607-754-4340.
