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.

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.
