About Rising Ground and STEPS to End Family Violence: Driven by the belief that each of us can thrive when life has hope and opportunity, Rising Ground provides caring support and proven paths to positive change, helping children, adults, and families rise above adversity. Each year Rising Ground is a positive force in the lives of more than 25,000 individuals. STEPS to End Family Violence - Rising Ground’s anti-intimate partner violence program - offers a variety of trauma-informed, anti-oppressive programming focused on the prevention of intimate partner violence; advocacy and healing for survivors and children impacted by abusive partner behavior; accountability classes for young men who have caused harm to their intimate partner; and training intended to increase awareness of the epidemic of gender-based violence. Since the program's founding in 1986, STEPS has been deliberately dedicated to engaging in work that is innovative and deeply survivor-centered and works to promote the idea that support for survivors of IPV that is not aligned with anti-oppressive, anti-racist, feminist/womanist principles tends to unintentionally mimic systems of oppression, and is ultimately, re-traumatizing and ineffective.   About the Criminalized Survivors Program: For over 30 years, the STEPS Criminalized Survivors Program has offered comprehensive clinical and legal support services to survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) or other forms of gender-based violence (GBV) who have been criminalized for their efforts to survive or resist abusive partner behavior. We support survivors facing felony and/or misdemeanor charges in any borough.

Atlas seeks to address the risks and needs of individuals released on their own recognizance citywide who are at heightened risk of future victimization or justice system involvement.  FF-CM is an intensive, family-focused, case management approach that is designed to motivate and link families to resources and services to address referral behaviors and family risk factors.  FF-CM is based on the same principles of the evidence-based FFT therapeutic approach: relational-based, strength-based, and respect-based. A key difference, however, is that the FF-CM service is focused on creating linkages to existing community resources to facilitate change.  To do so, interventionists first engage families into the change process and motivate them to connect to services.  The second part of the process involved Supporting and Monitoring families as they participate in services.  Finally, interventionists help the families to Generalize gains and new skills by locking in these changes and planning for the future.  The goal of the implementation of the FF-CM model is to increase the engagement of young adults into therapeutic services, namely Functional Family Therapy.   Rising Ground    Founded as an orphanage in 1831, Rising Ground has been at the forefront of evolving community needs.
