Mission:
Our mission is to confront the issue of childhood sexual abuse and exploitation through advocacy, education and treatment programs for girls and women.
Purpose of Ministry:
Wellspring Living exists to create restorative environments for victims of childhood trauma and sexual exploitation. Our vision is to see victims step out of their pain and begin to rebuild their lives.
How was the OHS grant used?
The OHS grant was used for the establishment of our girl's program, Wellspring Living Girls. By providing counseling, group therapy, education, life skills, vocational training, family reunification as well as spiritual care, the Wellspring Living Girls program helps sex trafficking survivors heal and move forward.
