What is a Forever Community?
Forever Communities
Expanding the System of Support
Reclaim13 works to strengthen the support system of traumatized children through Education, Healing, and Engagement
Education
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
— Nelson Mandela
Education is key to changing the way our society sees the plight of abused and exploited children. Education can, also, open new doors of possibility for an abused child.
Healing
Reclaim13 operates two specialized therapeutic homes for survivors of sexual exploitation. Our residential programs serve survivors as young as 10 up to 25 to provide the latest clinically-based healing and trauma-informed approaches to supporting their journey of reclaiming their path toward freedom.
“People have tried to place me in other placements in the past but I would only stay for a couple of days until I would run.This is the longest I have ever stayed. Also it is the first time I have ever had the will to stay and get better. I really do want to get better, have a better life/future.”
—CH resident
Child sexual exploitation impacts every aspect of development and has, potentially, life long consequences...unless there is intervention/healing. Trauma from victimization during childhood manifests in many way:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Anxiety
Depression
Attachment Disorders
Academic and attention problems
Fear and Dissociative responses
Our approach to healing highly traumatized survivors of child abuse and exploitation includes specialized treatment planning led by our clinical team of licensed clinicians. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based therapies for trauma survivors, including EMDR, DBT, TF-CBT, Somatic experiencing, etc.
Community Engagement
Our goal is to build a compassionate community who can support the child’s healthy development toward a positive, hope-filled future. There are several ways you can get involved in helping us end the cycle.
Your business can join our group of “Compassionate Corporations” who are working together using their resources to change the world.
Your church can join our “Church Coalition” and help meet the urgent needs of kids rescued from sexual exploitation.
You can join our army of volunteers working together to support the healthy development of victims of sexual exploitation. Contact us to find out how you fit in to our Forever Community!
