Aiding Victims

To facilitate restoring victims to a path of health and wholeness:

• End Slavery Tennessee works to provide victims and their advocates a single point of contact to in-house services and service providers that restore victims to wholeness. Requests for aid can come from federal, state and local law enforcement, the District Attorney’s office, social workers, medical professionals, parents, classmates, teachers, observant citizens and victims themselves . The path to wholeness is long and complex. Types of aid vary with each case. Examples include:

   

  • Safe shelter, both short and long term
  • Basic needs
  • Medical assessment and care
  • Legal Aid
  • Mental health assessment and care
  • Treatment for addiction
  • Dental care
  • Transportation to services
  • Phone (for safety)
  • Tattoo (“tag”) removal
  • Translator
  • Life skills training
  • Education
  • Job skills and job search
  • Identification, SSN, etc.
  • Pre-natal care
  • Childcare
  • Mentoring (for minor survivors)

    Our services are available to all human trafficking survivors in Middle Tennessee: Adults and minors; foreign nationals and US citizens; victims of labor, service or sex trafficking.
