What We Do
Sanctuary Home
EdenSpring residents will receive two years of rent-free housing in a peaceful, restorative setting. Survivors will be offered a holistic suite of services to support their emotional, physical, and spiritual healing.
At the heart of our mission is a commitment to serve with love. A key expression of that love is a beautiful sanctuary home where survivors are seen, heard, and deeply valued in the context of a caring community.
Each person deserves the opportunity to live life to the fullest. Our two-year restorative program will equip residents to unwind the complexities of trauma, tend to core wounds, develop a lasting support network, and build a life of dignity, confidence, and independence.
A Multi-Year Process
Each person's restorative journey differs and is rarely linear, often progressing or regressing in many areas at once. Our two-year program seeks to provide survivors with adequate time, support, and structure to move through the four areas of the restoration process at a comfortable and reassuring pace.
Stabilization
Initial intake and assessment. Building safety and trust in a secure environment.
Healing
Trauma-informed counseling, medical care, and spiritual support (upon request) are provided.
Growth
Education, job skills training, and life skills development prepare residents for independence.
Transition
Supported transition to independent living with a safety net of healthy community.
Holistic Restorative Care
Emotional Healing
Individual and group counseling sessions led by licensed trauma-informed therapists, equipping residents with tools for processing and recovery while living in a supportive community of peers, healing together.
Physical Wellness
Comprehensive medical and dental care, nutritious food choices, and on-site workout spaces provided at no cost, addressing the physical toll of exploitation and building long-term health.
Life & Vocational Skills
Education, job skills training, and life skills development equipping residents with practical tools for healthy living, life-giving relationships, and meaningful employment in support of independent living.
Building Step by Step
At EdenSpring, we believe that restorative care is most effective when integrated into a strategic network of referral partners, ensuring every survivor finds the specific path to healing they deserve. By anchoring our program within this larger service continuum, we provide a stable, long-term bridge from initial crisis intervention to full independence. As we grow, we are committed to expanding our internal capacity to continue closing service gaps, ensuring no stage of the recovery journey is left unsupported.
Prevention, Education, and Advocacy
Beyond our walls, we are dedicated to protecting the vulnerable and honoring survivors' stories by educating our West Virginia neighbors on awareness and prevention, participating in anti-trafficking efforts like the West Virginia Human Trafficking Task Force, and speaking with our legislators about the policies needed to close gaps for the vulnerable, support survivors, and hold perpetrators accountable.
Outreach, Intervention, and Stabilization
Exiting a trafficking situation and seeking restoration requires courage and often involves an intervention phase of stabilization. By partnering with outreach and emergency stabilization providers, EdenSpring will contribute to the creation of a stronger holistic continuum of care for survivors of sex trafficking in West Virginia, helping carry survivors beyond crisis to a future of joy, hope, and independence.
Restorative Care
Our sanctuary home will provide EdenSpring residents with the stability of two years of rent-free housing in a peaceful, restorative setting. Survivors will be offered a holistic suite of services to support their emotional, physical, and spiritual healing in the context of a supportive community marked by mutual respect and growth.
Transitional Housing
After a season of deep healing in restorative care, survivors often face a transition from the safety of a structured program to the challenges of the traditional housing market. Safe and affordable transitional housing serves as a vital bridge, ensuring that the progress made in recovery isn't undermined by the stress of housing instability or the risk of returning to exploitative situations out of economic necessity.
We plan to fill this gap by providing secure, low-cost transitional housing. Transitional housing provides a "soft landing" where survivors can live with dignity, exercise autonomy, maintain their sobriety and mental health, and continue focusing on long-term goals like education, career advancement, and familial reunification. This is an essential step to maintain stability on the road to dignity, confidence, and independence.
