Episode 16- Aftercare for Sex Trafficking Victims with Dahlia's Hope Executive Director Stockwell

After seeing a gap and need for aftercare services for adult survivors of sex trafficking, Cherstyn Stockwell started Dahlia's Hope. Dahlia’s Hope provides holistic aftercare services to survivors of sex trafficking who are ready to create a new life. It is the first treatment facility of its kind for trafficking victims in Utah. It will incorporate a few services in close proximity to each other, including: an education/training/treatment center, various therapy locations (including clinical therapy, recreational therapy, equine therapy, art therapy, animal therapy, and horticulture/garden therapy, to name a few), vocational training, life skills training, and, soon, residential housing. The treatment facility will also help connect survivors to medical and dental services. The primary goal of the organization is to help transition survivors into independent living, meeting each survivor exactly where they are in their own journey. The residential housing facility will be an off-site location that will provide safe housing for individuals who necessitate longer term care or cannot afford housing while receiving services from the treatment facility.
