Initiatives
Restoration of Survivors
Community Clients – Supporting survivors where they are and as they are. This is for those who are at a safe place in living as well as a safe place in healing. We surround those who participate in this program with support, community, and opportunity for continued restoration and healing utilizing biblical principles to address emotional, mental, physical, financial, and spiritual well-being.
Residential Program- This is a two-year, rent-free commitment to healing, safety, and restoration with the end goal of transitioning into independent living with a continued community support system. Focusing on Trauma-informed, strength-based, and biblically sound support, individual plans are utilized for each participant to affect change in every area of life, just as the Community Client program provides.
Prevention, Education, Awareness
Awareness includes both trainings to businesses, organizations, churches, and individuals, as well as education on prevention tactics to parents and children. Some of this is specialized training to specific audiences such as healthcare, educators, law enforcement, church groups, hospitality industry, travel, and transportation groups, and many others.
We also work to empower community models of support that assist cities and counties to come together utilizing a task force, coalition, or working group that answers the questions in the community, what do we do. These models are very successful in furthering awareness, increasing collaboration across different city, county, state, and federal agencies to address the concerns and safety of their community in regards to Human Trafficking.
Network of Emergent Care Safehouses
This initiative is resource-based and is focused on collaboration between different entities for those victims and survivors who need safety in transition to either relocation or acceptance into a program. We identify and support more emergent housing and seek ways for the furtherance of this initiative in conjunction with other non-profit groups who wish to work together. The need for more is very real.
Rescue Opportunities For Those Wanting a Safe Way Out
This initiative is where we have the opportunity at the point of contact to offer services and support for those identified through our partnering agencies or who are identified through various community avenues including the national hotline, the TN hotline, law enforcement, education, and health care systems or various other routes of communication.
We have rescue teams who are trained, vetted, and are adept at working with the different agencies to get someone to safety if they choose to accept services.
Demand Reduction
If you want to effect change, you must hit the circle of supply and demand. The demand reduction initiative is a rehabilitation school for those who buy, sell or traffick others.
Concentrated on those who are arrested, this court-mandated school is a program that is established for the sole purpose of true heart change and not to complete a checklist of requirements. It is a 6-8 week program, with accountability, homework, and strong stewardship.
