wraparound services
the problem
Addressing survivor’s needs is complex because the trauma and barriers they face are complex.
Once a victim leaves their exploiter, their journey of freedom and healing has just begun. Many survivors exit trafficking with educational challenges, debt from traffickers, and a lack of support, opportunities, and housing.
The interpersonal, prolonged trauma of sex trafficking also leaves survivors with an array of emotional barriers, like lack of trust, total reliance on their trafficker, hopelessness, shame, stigma, and fear.
supporting survivors
Since 2013, we have partnered with law enforcement, service providers, and medical professionals to provide trauma-informed, person-centered support to those who have been affected by sexual exploitation and trafficking.
