The primary goal of the Safe House is to place women in a long-term recovery program. The stay is intended to be a time of respite, reflection, recovery, and restoration, providing a safe and comfortable environment coupled with activities to help guide residents through the process of determining healthy next steps for their journey to full recovery.

In the 12-15 month Long-Term phase, women are provided case management and comprehensive support to become healthy emotionally and physically, maintain sobriety, and secure employment. When ready, women graduate to the 6-9 month Transitional phase of the program where their focus is to transition from program dependence to self-sufficiency.

The primary goal of our Junior Care services is to provide support for girls ages 12-17. The average age a child is first exploited through prostitution is 13 years old (Shared Hope International). House of Cherith’s goal is to provide a safe place for minors who have experienced sexual trafficking, trauma, or exploitation.

Statistics show that the majority of trafficked and exploited individuals are introduced at a young age by a close family member or friend. This makes it extremely difficult for women to leave their children in pursuit of their own healing and recovery. Our Family Support Care provides an opportunity for women to overcome their trauma alongside their children and to break the generational cycles of abuse, addiction, and pain.
