Reaching out for help takes courage. When a survivor is ready to leave, we're the team that shows up, working with law enforcement and community partners to make that exit safe.
The Moment of Leaving
The moment someone decides to leave, everything is uncertain. Survivors face life-or-death questions in the most dangerous moment of their journey, the moment they try to walk away.
This is where our team steps in. We coordinate directly with law enforcement and community partners to move survivors out of harm's way and into safety, without delay. Our involvement doesn't end at escape; it's the start of a relationship built on stability and opportunity.
How Identification Becomes Freedom
- A tip comes in. Community members trained to spot the signs report what they see through Simply Report, putting real-time information in the hands of responders.
- A survivor is identified. Our team works with law enforcement and community partners to confirm and reach the survivor safely.
- They get to safety. Safe home placement and transportation move them out of harm's way without delay.
- We walk with them in freedom. Survivor Scholarships and Internships build the education, skills, and career foundation for a whole future.

How We Train the Field
Survivor identification starts with the people already in a survivor's path: healthcare workers, in-home service providers, faith communities, and everyday advocates. Our role is making sure they're ready for that moment. The sooner someone recognizes the signs, the sooner a survivor can be connected to safety.
That's why we equip different corners of the community with training built for their specific role:
- Healthcare workers learn to recognize trafficking indicators through our H.O.P.E. Training
- Every day, advocates learn to spot, report, and prevent trafficking through OnWatch™
- In-home service providers, who visit households daily, learn how to act on what they see
- Faith communities engage the issue through God's Heart to Eradicate Trafficking
Each track is built to reflect the reality of that role, so identification happens faster wherever a survivor is first seen.

Every Survivor Deserves a Way Out.
Escape is a single moment. What we build afterward and who we equip beforehand are what turn that moment into a survivor's whole future.
