Who We Are

Day One is leading efforts to address sexual assault as a community concern. We are committed to supporting survivors and increasing prevention.

Our Approach

Day One is the only agency in Rhode Island that is specifically organized to deal with issues of sexual assault as a community concern. We provide treatment, intervention, education, advocacy, and prevention services to Rhode Islanders of all ages—from preschool children to elder adults. Additionally, we advocate for public policy initiatives and systemic changes that positively impact how Rhode Island families handle sexual abuse cases.

We strive to help survivors restore a sense of dignity through their discovery of self-respect and self-worth.

We constantly seek an understanding of cultural competency and specific needs of all populations we serve, enabling us to be responsive to all populations without regards to race or color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, or country of ancestral origin.

Through collaboration in partnership with other organizations, we forge lasting connections with the community to further advance our mission.

There is hope in our communities coming together as one.

Focused on serving the community in response to any type of sexual assault, we help victims find hope and healing through action. Addressing the issues that are affecting Rhode Island communities with evidence-based practices, we are leading the effort to create positive systemic changes for those at risk.

The path to healing is unique for each individual.

We offer trauma-informed clinical services, designed to provide a safe and comforting place for our clients to begin their journey.
