Services designed with survivors in mind.
REST offers holistic, survivor-centered services, seeking to walk alongside survivors of sex trafficking no matter where they are in their healing journey. Through this, we aim to offer support for survivors to identify and accomplish goals that transition them from entry to stabilization to independence.
Our Programs
Most survivors learn about REST through word of mouth, street or text outreach, or referrals from other agencies. They regularly call our 24/7 hotline for information and emotional support and drop in for enrichment services, which offer support groups, art therapy, and life skills workshops. Ninety percent (90%) of survivors have experienced homelessness; in such cases, they can stay at our emergency shelter.
All survivors have experienced trauma and can engage with mental health and substance use services. Many need assistance with employment and can access our Employment Services, which have been trained to supervise in a trauma-informed manner. To reach self-efficacy, transitional and permanent housing services are available.
