About Healing Action

Healing Action Network fosters safety, healing, and recovery with survivors of trafficking & exploitation. We fulfill our mission through three distinct programs.  

1. Center for Survivors – We provide trauma recovery services that include intensive service management, trauma therapy, individual and group peer support services, drop-in support center, and psychoeducation & trauma groups, and housing to adults who have experienced all forms of sexual exploitation including, but not limited to, sex trafficking, prostitution, stripping, escorting, pornography, and survival sex.
2. Coalition Against Trafficking & Exploitation (CATE) – CATE is a statewide coalition to prevent and respond to human trafficking and exploitation. Primary activities include workgroups, policy advocacy, research & data collection, and standards of care.
3. Volunteer Service Link – Offers individuals the opportunity to directly support adult survivors of human trafficking and exploitation in the St. Louis region. Volunteers are an essential part of our mission to foster healing, safety, and long-term recovery.

A community free from exploitation.

• Collaboration: We value partnership and recognize that we can’t do this work alone.
• Self-Determination: We believe members are the experts of their own lives. They have the power to define their needs and make the right choices for their care and future.
• Wellbeing: We believe in providing a quality, supportive experience to our clients, team, and community.
• Authenticity: We prioritize realism, directness, and truthfulness.
• Transparency: We do what we say and explain our decisions.
