Outreach
Trafficking survivors often don't identify as victims and the general public is uneducated on the nature of the issue. Because of this they are an under-identified and/or criminalized victim population. Meeting vulnerable populations where trafficking survivors may exist is crucial for identification and ultimately connection to services.
Outreach events to vulnerable populations.
Implementation of screening tools & protocols with service providers.

We are working to build a community-led by survivors for survivors. We believe in making a positive and permanent impact in the lives of survivors by ensuring access to sustainable services. We aim to ensure that everyone has the option not to sell their bodies, have the opportunity to become free and stay free from exploitation, have the support to walk through trauma recovery, increase healthy connection with themselves and others, achieve educational and vocational goals, and a seat at the table to use their voice however they choose.
Our Approach
Safety
Safety can be shattered by exploitation and trauma. The purpose of this program is to help re-establish a sense of safety so that we can help survivors begin to rebuild. This is where we provide Intervention and Emergency Shelter.
Stability
Stability is stolen from survivors during their trafficking an exploitation. Through our comprehensive Case Management and Housing Initiative, we help survivors find and maintain stability.
Connection
We are all wired for connection. We believe that healing cannot happen in isolation, and community is the key to survivors achieving sustainable change. TFP offers survivors an opportunity to build connection with themselves and others through Peer Support, Purposeful Living, and Joy-Building.
