SafeHarborOhio

Ohio is now home to Safe Harbor, a faith-based, long-term, residential, therapeutic community for girls, ages 14-18, who are survivors of sex trafficking.

This case is a reminder that traffickers don't fit one stereotype. While many people picture traffickers as men, women can also play significant roles in recruiting, controlling, and exploiting victims. https://t.co/IuUdjMxpdp

As we look forward to our Golf Outing this weekend, we want to give a huge thank you to Fastenal Company Ohio Valley Regional Distribution Center for their sponsorship and partnership! ⛳

Their generosity helps provide safety, healing, and hope for the girls in our care.

Safe Harbor is growing! We are almost at full capacity, and in order to open our new cottage and welcome more into our care, we need compassionate Treatment Specialists—including 3rd Shift.

We can make room for more girls to begin their healing journey: https://t.co/mhIpA3hv1k

Every day, we have the privilege of walking alongside teen girls as they find safety, healing, hope, and the freedom to dream again.

At Safe Harbor Ohio, we believe freedom brings hope, healing, and a future.

Happy Fourth of July! ❤️ 🤍 💙

More than 104 million files related to Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) were reported by registered Electronic Service Providers.

Federal law requires electronic service providers to report known instances of CSAM to the @NCMEC, helping protect children from further harm.

[SafeHarborOhio @safeharbor_ohio]

CSAM reveals the exploitation and abuse of children of all ages and genders. However, based on available data, CSAM in circulation is more likely to show prepubescent children than older minors. https://t.co/OSvolsyB2Z

[SafeHarborOhio @safeharbor_ohio]

The prevalence of CSAM is alarmingly on the rise, with over 61 million reports of suspected child sexual exploitation received by the @NCMEC. It is vital to comprehend the correlation between the surge in online child sexual abuse and the increase in child sex trafficking.

For the second year in a row, a young supporter has donated the earnings from her lemonade stand to support the girls at Safe Harbor Ohio. 🍋🌈

Thank you for helping bring hope and healing to the girls we serve! ✨

CSAM, or child sexual abuse material, is sexually explicit content involving a child. This can include photos, videos, or computer-generated images resembling a minor. While U.S. federal law still uses the term "child pornography," CSAM is now the preferred language.

Healing requires more than leaving—it requires safety, support, and care. Every survivor deserves the opportunity to find hope, healing, and restoration.

A place for hope and healing.

Every girl's healing journey is unique.

At Safe Harbor Ohio, we provide trauma-informed, holistic care tailored to the individual needs of each survivor. Through our Circle of Care, survivors are surrounded by the support, resources, and relationships essential for healing.

[SafeHarborOhio @safeharbor_ohio]

The effects of trafficking don't end when exploitation ends. Many survivors continue to navigate the emotional and psychological impacts of trauma. By increasing awareness and supporting trauma-informed services, we can help create pathways to healing, hope, and restoration.

[SafeHarborOhio @safeharbor_ohio]

The trauma of exploitation doesn't end when a survivor leaves their trafficking situation. Many continue to face the lasting effects of trauma, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. #PTSDAwareness
