The Bakhita Empowerment Program provides long-term intensive case management to adult and child survivors of all forms of human trafficking (sex and labor). Case management involves assisting survivors in meeting their needs with the goal of building self-sufficiency, as they rebuild their lives without dependence on their trafficker. Needs include housing, employment, education, trauma-informed mental health care, medical, food/clothing, and other.
Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Palm Beach's Elder Affairs Program provides long-term, case management services and bill pay to vulnerable, incapacitated seniors.
