Maggie speaks with Angie Brower (Survivor Care Director and Clinical Supervisor for Rapha International) about the Hope and Healing Center, a therapy center offering trauma-focused services in our community.
-
In 2003, Rapha International began an aftercare program for underage female survivors rescued from slavery and sexual exploitation in Battambang, Cambodia. Today, Rapha is an international organization working in Cambodia, Thailand and Haiti. Rapha's model is to recruit and equip local staff who are qualified and passionate about combatting child slavery, sexual exploitation, and abuse in their own countries. Rapha also provides trauma-focused therapy for child, teen, and adult survivors of a variety of traumas, including violence, sexual abuse, and trafficking, at their Hope & Healing Center located here in Joplin.
