DONATIONS NEEDED


Please help support Stronger Together and our work with survivors of human trafficking. We are now offering our healing services to a group of women, who are seeking comfort, healing, and safety as they exit their current circumstances and enter into an opportunity for growth and empowerment.


WHAT WE OFFER


Each survivor is seen weekly for individual and group therapy sessions. Therapy is trauma-focused and STCS utilizes models with the highest efficacy to ensure that the women we serve are provided with treatment that is tailored to their needs and effective in the treatment of complex trauma. Survivors engage in a variety of holistic healing opportunities which are facilitated by a leader of our recreation team and a therapist, which allows for truly holistic mind-body healing.

  • Trauma-informed yoga

  • Breathwork practices

  • Reiki

  • Rock climbing

  • Hiking

  • Standup paddleboard

Our STCS program is in partnership with a confidential women's organization that supports these survivors with housing, food, clothing, and other resources. The partnering organization is a confidential program supporting survivors of human trafficking. If you would like more information about our partnership please contact Allison at allison@strongertogethersd.org.

HOW YOU CAN HELP
