RISE (Restoring Identities after Sexual Exploitation)

RISE provides and encourages pro-social relationships and strong interpersonal skills to instill a sense of hope for the future utilizing trauma-informed, victim-centered care that includes each resident from day one in their goal setting, treatment planning and community building
RISE empowers youth who have been victims of sex trafficking and/or commercial sexual exploitation to become survivors who will be independent, responsible adults by learning life skills, encouraging recognition of the value of education and providing opportunities to follow through on commitments and by offering “give back” activities so that they learn the importance of helping others.
RISE expands the perspective of the youth it serves making them aware of the possibilities available to them in a life outside of and untainted by their past experiences in the sex trade.
RISE surrounds youth victims of trafficking and/or commercial exploitation in a safe, caring, learning environment with people who pass no judgment and are invested in helping them create positive futures
