HR Recovery Initiative, Inc
Human trafficking mostly remains a hidden crime due to the force, fraud and coercion traffickers employ over their victims. These victims will sometimes suffer for months and even years as a result of this egregious violation of their human rights.
HR Recovery Initiative, Inc. believes the fight against human trafficking can and should be a coordinated effort of all those who come in contact with victims over the course of this crime being perpetrated against them.
We also support the belief that survivors should be afforded the right to participate in the restoration of personal balance, dignity and freedom without due hardship or compromise.
During the course of services, the collecting and analyzing of data assists service providers to validate the need for and identify the ideal settings of the long term living environments that human trafficking victims' need for emancipation which is currently lacking in our national restorative services respectfully.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
To provide intervention and recovery services to victims of all types of human trafficking in a safe, proactive, survivor-centered manner while supportively engaging ancillary service entities necessary to complete the self-determined, holistic recovery and prevent future victimization.
OUR VISION STATEMENT:
Through combined research and service data collection efforts, our vision is to create a universal coordination of recovery services and legal statues on local, state, federal and international levels.
SERVICES by PROGRAM:
TRE Program (Transitional Recovery Efforts)
Outreach Efforts
Self-Determined Case Management/Recovery

PAR Prevention Services (Potentially at Risk)
Prevention of potential victimization through educational community and/or individualized services including:

APPROACH:
Human Trafficking is perpetrated against humans rights at all levels. HR Recovery believes that a holistic approach is the best way to treat and promote long term recovery from this crime.
Body: Dignity and Worth Outreach Recovery Efforts that Break the Silence and seek out those that are enslaved by traffickers and to let them know that there is help available no matter what, no matter where.
Mind: Rehabilitation and Personal Balance therapeutic services to help those who have been broken and torn from their own minds to help build them back up mentally on their terms, at their speed.
Spirit: "Planting the Seeds of Restoration" plant/tree sale which our fundraising project to promote the spiritual growth of all those in need of restoration and for those who can affect that change... to let the victims and survivors know that no matter where you are, we are all working together to support your restoration by watering a dedicated tree or plant and provide thoughts and blessings for their emancipation and prosperity.

SUNDAY COFFEE HOUR COULD USE YOUR HELP!
Coffee Hour on Sunday after the 10am Eucharist is a meaningful experience for becoming better acquainted and a great opportunity to welcome those new attending Christ Church. Recently we have not been able to enjoy this gathering regularly as there has been no one setting it up. Therefor it would be greatly appreciated if individuals or groups of people would be kind enough to volunteer. There is a sign-up sheet in the Parish Hall.
