OUR MISSION

TRANSFORMING LIVES OF THOSE AT RISK OR VICTIMIZED BY SEXUAL EXPLOITATION

OUR VISION

A WORLD WHERE EVERY VICTIM OF SEXUAL EXPLOITATION HAS ACCESS TO TRANSFORMATIVE CARE.

ABOUT WELLSPRING LIVING

Since 2001, Wellspring Living has provided domestic sex trafficking victims and those at risk (ages 12+) with comprehensive, trauma-informed, victim-centered recovery services through residential programs, community-based programs, and post-program support. Each program utilizes a multi-disciplinary service model to provide transformative care through three service pillars: housing, healing and education. The focus for each participant is on developing their courage to move forward and their confidence to succeed. Through operating best practices and with highly qualified staff, Wellspring Living programs are statistically proven in providing restorative services that yield positive, life-changing results. As a Christian-based organization, our faith compels us to create an environment of transformative care through the comprehensive services we provide. 

Wellspring Living’s vision is to live in a world where every victim of sexual exploitation has access to transformative care. Wellspring Living is a leader in the nation for residential care and through the Wellspring Living Institute is able to educate, train and mentor organizations around the world.

WHAT IS DMST?

Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking (DMST) as defined by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, reauthorized in 2008, is “the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for the purpose of a commercial sex act” where the person is U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident under age 18.

DMST occurs when minors are forced, coerced or otherwise involved in the commercial sex industry. Despite how it may sound, trafficking does not require movement. A minor can be trafficked anywhere at any time and doesn’t even have to be moved beyond the boundaries of their own home to be a victim.

OUR PROGRAMS

RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS

Our residential programs provide women and youth with trauma-informed care in a safe environment where participants receive the education, training, therapy, and tools they need for life-long stability and success.

COMMUNITY  PROGRAM

Our community program provides women with critical support services they need to positively change the trajectory of their lives and the lives of their families. Services include academic and professional training, life skills classes, mental health services and other dynamic programming.

POST-PROGRAM SUPPORT

Post-Program Support offers follow-up services for women (and their families) and youth who have participated in Wellspring Living's programs. Women and their families have access to housing support and case management which equips them to move toward independence and long-term stability.

TRAINING INSTITUTE

Apart from our restoration programs in Atlanta GA, we also invest in other cities and organizations who share our desire to see trafficking prevented, justice served, and lives restored.

Our Institute is designed to equip, train, and mentor developing organizations and individuals across the nation on the issues of sexual exploitation of children and adults.
