Clinical Care Coordinator

Agency Mission Statement:
In the 21st century, far too many people are trapped in the darkness of sex trafficking and homelessness. Atlanta Dream Center is on the frontlines every day rescuing these individuals and preventing the most vulnerable in society, our children, from falling victim. Out of Darkness is a department of Atlanta Dream Center, Inc. www.atldreamcenter.com

Program Description:
The goal of Out of Darkness (OOD) is to reach, rescue, and restore individuals from circumstances of commercial sexual exploitation. Intervention occurs through street and strip club outreach, jail mentoring, a 24-hour resource and rescue hotline, and crisis safe homes. When a woman calls the OOD rescue hotline, a team is dispatched to pick her up and take her to one of the safe homes. Because many of the challenges the women will face stem from the trauma they have endured, the care model we offer is trauma-informed. Staff encourages residents to pursue ongoing recovery through residential programs, and OOD sponsors any financial cost. To date, over 1,070 women have been served through these homes.
