Description:
Latisha's House runs a safe house for victims of sex trafficking and prostitution, a trauma-informed house with life skills and education.

Experience, Background and Services:
As a certified traumatologist, working with LPC's and health professionals, we offer victims of trafficking the opportunity to be safe in a residential program with life skills, educational opportunities--both GED and college, career classes, financial classes, and mental and physical health evaluations and treatment.

Using a trauma-informed counseling program, victims can regain control of their lives by learning to deal with PTSD, trauma, assaults, and sexual servitude. They learn new life skills, receive education, and have career opportunities to they can become healthy and productive members of society.

We network with multiple providers and offer a wide array of counseling and medical treatments for trauma and addiction issues. We partner with multiple law enforcement agencies--our residents help testify and bring down trafficking rings.

At the end of the crisis stabilization, our residents live in a safe Independent Living Apartment and continue to have the love and support of the staff . Ultimately they have enough money and the job skills necessary to live healthy lives being able to provide for themselves and their children.
