Angels of Hope Against Human Trafficking

Angels of Hope strives to support survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation through their journey to healing. Along with establishing goals with each individual client, our main priority is to aid in re-integration into society with minimal triggers and access to support services.

AOH Offers the following services:

• Trauma-informed, mental health and addiction counseling with Certified Addiction Counselors and Registered Indigenous Social Workers, focusing on understanding and addressing trauma, developing coping skills, and building individualized care plans;

• Virtual Survivor-led support groups focusing on life and living skills—these groups will be a safe, inclusive space for Survivors to learn new skills, and share their experiences rebuilding their lives and regaining independence. Any Survivor in Ontario may participate; incentives and honoraria are provided to all participants.

• Support, guidance, education, and counseling to Survivors’ loved ones.

Public Education workshops: These workshops are designed for service providers and the general public to increase awareness of the prevalence of sexual exploitation and human trafficking in our region. The workshops will equip participants with the ability to recognize when a young person is being groomed or trafficked and provide them with the necessary tools and knowledge to support youth or connect them to the appropriate services.
