Mission Statement
MISSION STATEMENT: Our goal at Covered is to empower each sex trafficking survivor toward healing and self-sufficiency. VISION STATEMENT: Covered’s vision is to create safe and supportive homes for trafficking survivors to stabilize, heal, grow, and discover healthy communities. OUR CORE ISSUES: Housing, Counseling, Education and Community.
Description
Covered works with survivors over 18 years old, assisting them and their children with a chance to change their lives for the better. We know more than anything that these victims need love and positive direction. After such a traumatizing experience, their brain functions are not the same and they need help to change the behaviors their minds have been manipulated with and assistance to make decisions on their own. We offer a healthy community full of caring coaches that have been trained to help with these unique needs, teaching and often re-teaching life skills that can help these survivors obtain jobs, making them self-sufficient and empowered to break the bondage they’ve been held by for so long.
Since 2017, Covered has helped 123 survivors to date. We know there is much more to be done. In January of 2023 we opened our first residential home for trafficking survivors. This will allow us to further the work we are doing and make a bigger impact in the community and the amazing women in our program. We will continue to collaborate with vetted partner organizations, the court system, law enforcement, and select healthcare agencies on crisis cases.
