Short-term Stabilization: Lighthouse

Without stabilization, survivors have little hope of overcoming the trauma and abuse they have endured. Survivors in the program will reside in Lighthouse, where they will have a safe place to heal.

Basic Needs: Upon entering Lighthouse, survivors will receive necessary basic needs supplies such as food, clothes, and personal hygiene items.
Medical Care: A primary care physician will assess each survivor’s basic wellness and write prescriptions for any medications.
Case Management: Case managers will work with each survivor to tailor a case management plan depending on the survivor’s needs and next steps.
Group Therapy: Counselors will work with all the survivors in the house during weekly psychoeducational group sessions. Psychoeducational group sessions provide a safe place for the survivors to come together with others to share, learn, and grow.
Life Skills: Survivors come to Covered after having lived on various time schedules that were controlled by their traffickers. Case managers will work with each survivor to develop new basic life skills that will prepare them for success. Basic life skills include waking up on time, developing a morning and evening routine, taking on chores, and learning to cook.
Active Court Cases, Debt & Tickets/Fines: Case managers will work with each survivor to help them navigate through active court cases, paying tickets/fines, and managing debt/collectors. Often traffickers control victims by opening credit cards and buying houses in the victim’s names, so we must work with the courts to clear charges.
