ADVOCACY ,

AWARENESS AND SERVING SURVIVORS

In 2016 , Restore One has continued to bring awareness and advocacy to the need for restorative care for men and boys . We ’ ve spoken at national conferences such as Shared Hope Faith Conference and Summit to End Sexual Exploitation . We ’ ve also been featured on national news media such as NBC and the 700 Club on CBN . Often we are the only organization represented that works with sexually trafficked men and boys . Restore One has earned the notable reputation of consciously stirring the national culture to acknowledge the sexual trafficking of men and boys . Even as we press forward to open the doors of The Anchor House , Restore One staff are already hard at work advocating for male survivors through one on one mentoring , case consulting and training professionals . It ’ s important for Restore One to maintain a national presence in the abolition community so we may start to see other organizations progress towards providing services for boys and men . I ’ m encouraged as we gear up for 2017 , and I believe we will see great advancement of the message of truth and freedom that Restore One brings .
