Program History:

1987
Rape Intervention Services and Education (RISE) of Sullivan County was founded in 1987, to provide various services to victims of sexual abuse and to offer prevention education.

2010
Garnet Health Medical Center, recognized how vital the RISE Program was for the community and stepped in to offer a home when the program faced possible closure.

2021
On April 1, 2021, the RISE program transitioned to Fearless! and continues its longtime partnership and collaboration with Garnet Health Medical Center, supporting anyone suffering the physical, emotional, and medical impacts of rape and other sexual trauma. Our Sexual Assault Services Program continues to reside in office space within the hospital, serving Sullivan County Residents.
