229: Every Girl Deserves a Childhood (Helping Girls Recover From Sexual Trauma and Trafficking) May 18, 2020

Show notes

It’s TRB UNLEASHED! Oh my goodness, I am so excited about today’s conversation. I’ve been talking about this episode for a few weeks now. This episode is going to change your life a bit. Today, you’ll be hearing from Kristen Harness, the Founder and CEO of Extended Hands of Hope. This amazing organization helps girls and women recover from sexual trauma and sex trafficking. It’s shocking. It’s intense. It’s powerful. And it’s hopeful.

Extended Hands of Hope

From the Extended Hands of Hope Website:

"She is 12 years old. She is experiencing sexual abuse at her home. She has to leave because it isn’t safe. She runs to the streets and within 24 hours she is targeted by a trafficker. She is coerced into thinking it will be safe, when in fact this is the most dangerous and traumatic time of her life. She is now trapped and forced to commit horrific acts. Luckily she is recovered by law enforcement but there is nowhere suitable for her to go. . . UNTIL NOW.

EXTENDED HANDS OF HOPE is a place where a girl can find the love and support she needs to heal and recover. "
