"You may choose to look the other way, but
you can never say again that you did not know."

OUR WORK
SAFEE approaches Human Trafficking aftercare like no other organization. We intend to empower each survivor to thrive and grow towards becoming contributing members of their community, with the support of their family whenever possible.
​​
We have learned that healing and restoration can take place in many ways. As a result, our programs are tailored to meet the individual needs of each survivor in their own local context. We recognize a “one size fits all” approach does not address the needs of each survivor. We are intentional with our aftercare services which results in individualized and scalable programs that not only allow us to provide customized care based off the survivors current and future needs but allows SAFEE to provide individualized care to more victims than ever before. We are excited to share our aftercare models and services with you! SAFEE’s programs provide a safe place for all who have been rescued to rest, grow, and recover.
​​
STRENGTH HOME
Provides a physical safe haven, restoration, and place for healing survivors of Human Trafficking. When a survivor comes into the STRENGTH HOME, they have access to onsite aftercare team where we ensure all physical, mental, and spiritual needs are met. Strength Home is the most suitable care we can provide to residents who do not have a safe family environment to return to, or for those who require more intentional “one on one” care. Typically, Strength Home is for survivors who have experienced high levels of physical or mental trauma.
​​
STRENGTH HOME can include;
Physical and mental needs assessment, Individualized reintegration care plan, John Maxwell Inspirational Leadership Training, Community relationship building, Learning center & vocational training, Employment and education assistance through college degrees, Group psychoeducation sessions.
​​
RETURN HOME
Ultimately, SAFEE wishes to return survivors to their loving family environment whenever safe and possible. SAFEE caseworkers meet with victims and their family on a regular basis as well as providing up to 12 months of financial support. In the Return Home program, SAFEE is able to build relationships with survivors, families, and local communities. This approach allows survivors to remain in environments already familiar to them with established support networks. We are able to connect the survivor and their family to local spiritual leaders, government support, resources, and assist with long-term employment opportunities within their community. Allowing them to heal and flourish in a familiar environment.
GET INVOLVED
Medical l Mental Health
Many survivors suffer from repeated physical and mental abuse, malnutrition, ignored dental care, contusions, and various serious medical and mental issues. When survivors enter SAFEE, we begin creating their success story. We do this by making sure they have access to family Health, Dental and Mental Health Care. Our onsite medical staff ensures Survivors have the best chance to a healthy lifestyle.
For the Survivors who have a passion for the medical field we offer training and education as well as medical mentorships allowing them to discover their specific niche. We follow that up by helping them apply for and get accepted into medical training programs and later job placement. This approach allows Survivor to become valuable members of their community and can provide opportunities to travel internationally joining other organizations such as “Doctors without Borders”, “Mercy Corps”, “International Medical Corps”, "The John Maxwell Team", and other organizations we are in the process of partnering with.

UNDERSTANDING
What Is Human Trafficking?
​
Human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. Every year, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked worldwide – including right here in the United States. It can happen in any community and victims can be any age, race, gender, or nationality. Traffickers might use violence, manipulation, or false promises of well-paying jobs or romantic relationships to lure victims into trafficking situations.
Language barriers, fear of their traffickers, and/or fear of law enforcement frequently keep victims from seeking help, making human trafficking a hidden crime.
​
Traffickers look for people who are susceptible for a variety of reasons, including psychological or emotional vulnerability, economic hardship, lack of a social safety net, natural disasters, or political instability. The trauma caused by the traffickers can be so great that many may not identify themselves as victims or ask for help, even in highly public settings.
​
Many myths and misconceptions exist. Recognizing key indicators of human trafficking is the first step in identifying victims and can help save a life. Not all indicators listed are present in every human trafficking situation, and the presence or absence of any of the indicators is not necessarily proof of human trafficking.
​
***The safety of the public as well as the victim is paramount. PLEASE, do not attempt to confront a suspected trafficker directly or alert a victim to any suspicions. It is up to law enforcement to investigate suspected cases of human trafficking. ***
