Wellness Center
Our Wellness Center aims to build upon the crisis management model and move towards long-term care by providing, connecting and eliminating barriers for survivors to gain access to survivor-centered, trauma-informed mental health services throughout NJ and nationally.
All services are provided nationally except for individual counseling services*-
Though a survivor-centered, trauma-informed approach we provide individual counseling services for free to survivors throughout the state of NJ.
Clinicians are survivor-leaders within our Wellness Center and are trained in EMDR, TF-CBT, IFS, and narrative therapy.

Pathways to educational empowerment
Can support survivors in moving beyond survivorship and into spaces that create sustainable and tangible change within their communities and own lives.
Financial empowerment
goes beyond giving funds and moves towards education and a true investment in a survivor’s financial well-being through leadership development that supports survivors in seeing themselves within the anti-trafficking movement and beyond.
