Eden Centers for Hope and Healing

Eden Centers is a movement to eradicate the trafficking and selling of human beings. We create systemic change through: youth prevention; education and legislative advocacy; recovery and reentry services for victims, including emergency, transitional, and long-term shelter; and a lifelong community of care for survivors.

Eden Centers for Hope and Healing stands at the forefront of a compassionate movement committed to eradicating the heinous crime of human trafficking. Our mission encompasses a multifaceted approach aimed at fostering systemic change and providing comprehensive support to survivors of this grave injustice.

Dedicated to youth prevention, education, and legislative advocacy, Eden Centers addresses the root causes of trafficking. We extend a lifeline to victims through a continuum of care, embracing recovery and reentry services that span emergency, transitional, and long-term shelter options. Our holistic approach is anchored in trauma-informed principles, ensuring that every survivor receives personalized care to heal and rebuild their lives.

For adult female survivors of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation, Eden Centers offers a sanctuary of healing. In the pursuit of lasting change, our long-term residential recovery program empowers survivors to navigate the journey of processing trauma and gain essential life skills, paving the way for successful reintegration into society. Our trauma-focused individual and group therapy, intensive case management, and collaboration with external community partners empower residents to access crucial services such as psychiatry, behavioral health, healthcare, legal aid, financial literacy, employment support, and housing placement. The groundbreaking Eden Emergency Center, a collaboration with LCMC, operates as a beacon of hope by offering short-term safety, stabilization, and trauma-informed care advocacy on an emergency basis.

Beyond recovery, Eden Centers is dedicated to prevention through education. Our programs equip at-risk youth and the community with the knowledge to identify, resist, and prevent human trafficking, commercial sexual exploitation, and gender-based violence. Additionally, our social enterprise, Especially Eden, serves as a transformative platform, providing residents with job skills and work experience through employment opportunities and job readiness workshops.

Eden Centers for Hope and Healing is not merely an organization; it is a movement that strives to dismantle the chains of human trafficking and usher in a future where survivors can reclaim their lives with dignity, resilience, and newfound hope.
