A Safe Place focuses on prevention, advocacy, and restoration to assist victims of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. A Safe Place services the southeast region of North Carolina with the following programs:
A toll-free, anonymous hotline | A Safe Place established a hotline for victimized individuals, tipsters and general information inquiries. A Safe Place is committed to connecting with sexually exploited girls and women in the sex industry by conducting street outreach, placing outbound calls, and making the hotline number readily accessible in high risk locations.
Transitional Housing | A Safe Place provides a choice between a life of exploitation and a life of opportunities and success for victims of commercial sexual exploitation. Each resident creates a specialized success strategy, which details her personal, educational and career goals. All of our residents receive quality counseling and access to educational and vocational training. For the young women residing in the home who are pregnant and/or parenting, unique services are available to meet their needs. These services include child care, parenting classes, specialized counseling and more.
Direct Support Services and Outreach Center| These services are available to any victim identified by A Safe Place, partner organizations or law enforcement. Complete case management is provided in a safe and inviting environment, where young women are able to engage with others in the programs, have one-on-one time with our staff and volunteers and attend our weekly survivor-led girls group.
