Breaking the Silence: Mobilizing Communities

May marks two important opportunities to raise awareness for Foster Care Month as well as Mental Health Month. We want to recognize all of the professional and family caregivers who serve those who’ve been afflicted with mental health issues or who are in need of safe care and housing.

Young survivors of sexual exploitation and trafficking are in great need of both of these services. They’ve often experienced complex trauma that requires specialized, trauma-informed therapy to help them recover and heal. Many also face homelessness and are in need of the basic needs of a safe home. Sadly, the available options to support either of these foundational needs are quite limited, and finding a path out of their circumstances is extremely challenging.

Corrie’s House will be the first residential facility in the Twin Cities to provide long-term residential care with comprehensive services specifically tailored to support minors who’ve experienced or are at risk of sexual exploitation and trafficking.
