Who We are
RAVE I/M serves the communities located in Ionia
and Montcalm counties. We offer free and confidential
services to survivors of domestic and sexual violence
as well as victims of homelessness. For a complete
list of services, click here. RAVE I/M is committed to
supporting healing and empowering individuals in
crisis as well as educating individuals and the
community on the power of health relationships.
We have a rich history built on the hard work of these
communities beginning in 1979. What began as a
crisis line answered by dedicated volunteers in their
own homes in the city of Ionia, has grown into a
multi-program, 501c (3) non-profit agency providing
services to thousands of adults and children
throughout Ionia and Montcalm Counties.
Our Mission
Our mission is to address the effects of domestic
violence and sexual violence; to promote individual
dignity, respect and safety; to empower and support
survivors by providing shelter, counseling and
advocacy; and to be an agent for social change
through community awareness and education.
Our Vision
Our vision is that violence will be eliminated in our
homes and in our communities.
Core Values & Beliefs
Domestic and sexual violence exists in all segments
of society; domestic and sexual violence is
unacceptable; domestic and sexual violence must be
stopped and prevented; social awareness about
domestic and sexual violence must be raised.
