Redeemed for a Cause Philadelphia
Survivor Stories + Accurate Representation, By Garden of Eeden
Survivor Engagement Resources by Survivor Alliance
There are few integral organizations I would genuinely recommend for anyone who has survived human trafficking, or has a loved one whose experience reflects this. RFAC is run locally in Philadelphia by survivors themselves who are trained in this field, as well as with psychology backgrounds. For applicable, supportive services that operate independently from a corrupt system, you can find Redeemed for a Cause through their contact or drop in center.
