THE PLAN
Provide the best care available to child survivors of sex trafficking.
Ohio is now home to Safe Harbor, a faith-based, long-term, residential, therapeutic community for girls, ages 14 through 18, who are survivors of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation.
Safe Harbor provides trauma-informed, holistic care for the girls on site. These services will include on-site medical and physical care provided by local partners such as SpringVale Health Centers, doctors, psychiatrists, and staff therapists. For their education, we have partnered with Quaker Digital Academy. With a staff pastor and the help of local churches, we will nurture the girls’ spirituality to find their own faith.
Reconnecting with the community and where appropriate, family and relatives are also part of the Circle of Care, with mentoring, family, and group therapy.
We’ll also be teaching social and relational skills like healthy conflict resolution and self-regulation, plus independent living and job skills training.
