SAFE HOUSE

Path2Freedom: Magnolia House

Path2Freedom was launched in response to a need for comprehensive long-term care for adolescent survivors of sex trafficking who would otherwise return to the traditional foster care system. Learn more about our program model.

The Magnolia Safe Houses (located in Lee and Collier Counties) are evidence-based therapeutic homes for girls ages 10-17 rescued from sex trafficking. Survivors are verified Commercial Sexual Exploited Children (CSEC) through the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF). This family-first model of care engages, equips, and empowers survivors to claim total freedom over the effects of trauma while meeting the needs of the whole child in a trauma-informed environment.

Residents at the Magnolia House receive a model of care designed to walk with each girl as they embark on their personal Path 2 Freedom.

As a Family first model of care, we value the healing that can come from finding one’s place in a healthy and loving family. That’s why Path2Freedom has staffed Magnolia House with full time house parents and supportive program staff, volunteers and mentors. We have witnessed hurt melt as residents receive and accept the genuine love that the Magnolia Family has to offer.

Those we serve often lack the ability to thrive in a traditional school setting. Because we realize the power of individualized attention, setting professional goals and living a life of purpose, we opened our onsite Magnolia School. Residents receive education tailored to meet their individual academic needs and professional goals. In addition to traditional academic classes, our residents participate in occupational readiness courses and receive financial literacy training from local banks.

By participating in our recreational therapies, residents begin to explore their unique gifts and bond over like-interests. One of our primary services, Equine Therapy, is known for its ability to decrease symptoms of PTSD. Through this program, our residents have found belonging in the equine community and purpose in their ability to care for horses. These experiences provide peace from the effects of trauma.
