Survivor Care

Restoring Life & Dignity

When a survivor is rescued from trafficking, slavery, or abuse, they need a safe place to heal.

Hagar’s safe homes and community-based care programs are havens of healing.

Holistic support helps each survivor process trauma and grow in confidence and resilience.

Whatever it takes for as long as it takes to restore life and dignity.

Hagar’s Survivor Care Programs are:

Trauma-Informed

Hagar's Survivor Care programs use a trauma-informed approach. Our work is grounded in the knowledge that trauma can impact the whole person, mind, body and soul.

Holistic

No two people are the same, and neither are their healing journeys. Hagar's Survivor Care programs keep the whole person front and center and address each individual's unique needs.

Long-Term

The effects of trauma often run deep. That's why Hagar provides long-term, empowering care. This commitment transforms the lives of survivors, their families, and their communities.

Safe Homes

Hagar’s Safe Homes are short-term havens of protection, refuge, and healing. Each survivor is welcomed with open arms and starts their healing journey.

Caring house parents, social workers, and trauma counselors monitor each individual’s progress.

Every survivor receives the specialized support they need to heal and thrive like counseling, medical care, nourishing meals, legal aid, education, and a loving community of support.

Community-Based Care

Hagar’s Community-Based Care programs provide holistic recovery services for survivors within their communities. A social worker monitors each individual’s progress and connects them to the specialized support they need to overcome trauma and thrive.

Community-based care services include:

Foster care for children whose parents or family members were complicit in their trafficking
Trauma therapy and family counseling,
Medical care
Legal aid
Education and economic empowerment services
