Getting Help

Are you being trafficked?

We know how overwhelming things can seem and that it’s hard to know where to turn and who to trust. When you’re ready, we will meet with you to create a plan that makes sense for you and your situation.

Our physical space is both welcoming and secure. Team members include people with lived experience who understand. As a survivor-led organization, we acknowledge that you have your own experiences, needs and cultural beliefs so there is no ‘one size fits all’ plan.

We respect your life experience and will help you move forward into a new life of your creation.

What can I expect?

You’re either reaching out directly or have been referred to us by another service provider or agency.

We’ll arrange a meeting with you and together we’ll determine your immediate needs. In all circumstances our first priority will be to ensure your comfort and safety. You are the expert in your own life and support will be available to you throughout your time with us.

We can help you with any number of things including;

Basic immediate needs

Food, clothing, safety planning, transportation, medical care, psychological and emotional support, and support accessing safe shelter.

Mid to longer term needs

Ongoing case management, sexual health services, and court support. Referrals to transitional housing, detox and addiction services, dental care, physiotherapy, trauma counselling, and education and employment preparation.

When you are ready we invite you to consider becoming a member of Path Found. The first step is to complete an application so we can work with you to ensure you are ready for this next step. It’s a program where you can learn new skills, meet with peers, and build the life you deserve and want!

Are you a Service Provider?

We are here to work with you to provide wrap around, comprehensive care for victims of sex trafficking. We complement what you are providing and help to fill gaps in care.

From project concept to development and every single day, The Hope Found Project is led and informed by persons with lived experience. We are survivor-led and appreciate the unique circumstances of each person we work with.

Working together starts with a conversation and mutual understanding of client needs. If this is an emergency situation, we will ensure safety of client first and foremost.

Education for service providers

Education is key to recognizing and responding appropriately to suspicions of sexual exploitation. We are happy to work with you to deliver training that will meet your needs.

Our training can be delivered by staff with lived-experience.
