Survivor Care

Restoring Life & Dignity

When a survivor is rescued, they need a safe place to heal.

Hagar’s trauma-informed care programmes are havens of healing and provide the necessary supports and services for survivors to rebuild their lives.

Our residential and community-based care programmes provide holistic support so each survivor can process trauma, reconnect with family and community, and grow in confidence and resilience.

Whatever it takes for as long as it takes to restore life and dignity.

Hagar’s Survivor Care Programmes are:

Trauma-Informed

Hagar's Survivor Care programmes use a trauma-informed approach. Our work is grounded in the knowledge that trauma can impact the whole person, mind, body and soul.

Wholistic

No two people are the same, and neither are their healing journeys. Hagar's Survivor Care programmes keep the whole person front and centre and address each individual's unique needs.

Long-Term

The effects of trauma often run deep. That's why Hagar provides long-term, empowering care. This commitment transforms the lives of survivors, their families, and their communities.

Safe Homes

Hagar’s Safe Homes are short-term havens of protection, refuge, and healing. Each survivor is welcomed with open arms and starts their healing journey.

Caring house parents, social workers, and trauma counselors monitor each individual’s progress.

Every survivor receives the specialized support they need to heal and thrive like counseling, medical care, nourishing meals, legal aid, education, and a loving community of support.

Community-Based Care

Hagar’s Community-Based Care programmes provide holistic recovery services for survivors within their communities. A social worker monitors each individual’s progress and connects them to the specialized support they need to overcome trauma and thrive.

Community-based care services include:

Foster care for children whose parents or family members were complicit in their trafficking
Trauma therapy and family counseling,
Medical care
Legal aid
Education and economic empowerment services
