The client services program is our core program and gateway to other services provided by Breaking Free. After an initial intake and assessment is completed, an individual plan for each client is established and implemented, which includes:
Serving individuals with concurring issues of poverty, homelessness, substance abuse, and violence necessitates a holistic approach in order to overcome each of the barriers. Our advocates help develop a case plan with goals and provide information and referrals to appropriate services or agencies, as well as directly advocating on behalf of clients within these services and agencies.
Weekly educational support groups facilitated by Breaking Free staff are a combination of women sharing their experiences and learning about the dynamics of sex trafficking and exploitation.
A 14-week intensive education program that examines sex trafficking as a slave-based system, the impact it has on victims' lives, and issues related to addiction and recovery.

The purpose of this program is to provide information and skills that will lead to the management of a successful future as a survivor - for the individual, within their family, and within the community as a whole. The topics are meant to compliment and build upon the content discussed in our Sisters of Survival program.
The purpose of this program is to provide information, skills, and training opportunities that will lead to the management of a successful job search, education search, and/or completion of career goals.
Breaking Free has formed partnerships with several local employment and work-readiness organizations to help prepare women for the job market. We work with G.E.D. programs, high schools, higher education institutions, and training programs to help people get back into an educational setting. Clients are given the opportunity to decide their own career paths. Each client has the opportunity to receive individualized assistance with navigating career choices to reach her goals.
In addition, Breaking Free provides services and referrals for other assistance, such as tutoring, scholarship research and assistance, and institution tours.
