VICTIM
SERVICES & HOUSING

With our services we aim to provide the necessary tools for young adult victims and vulnerable youth to overcome extreme trauma of all forms of human trafficking and sexual violence, crime and advancing the understanding of their life possibilities through our carefully laid out framework for providing shelter. In partnership with the Sarasota Salvation Army, we are excited to announce the opening of the “Safe Stay” Project, under which we provide a week-long shelter (facility provided by Salvation Army) for homeless women/victims who are at risk for or have been previously exposed to human trafficking.

MENTAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH

We partner with Coastal Behavioral Healthcare (linked to http://www.coastalbh.org) and other mental health providers to provide behavioral health therapy that we manage, including psychiatric care, diagnosis and med management as needed.

EXPERT ADVOCACY

As part of our services we provide expert urgent care advocacy for all of our mentees in their legal and medical needs. We make sure to accompany them to their court and medical appointments, reconnect them families and loved ones, and help them enroll in school or apply for jobs. We additionally work closely with the court system, as well as city, state and federal law enforcement, to identify further individuals that may require our care.

PREVENTION/DEMAND RJEDE™ FOR MEN+

In order to eliminate all forms of Human Trafficking, Sexual Violence and Youth Trafficking we need to start with a multidisciplinary approach to Crime Prevention. Aside from reaching out the community, informing agencies in the area and holding national training’s, we also have RJEDE™. “Restorative Justice End Demand Educational Curriculum” a sexual violence and prostitution prevention initiative created by our founder and licensed by More Too Life team.

More Too Life, Inc under Open Doors Contract

 

The Open Doors Outreach Network is a promising, well-coordinated system serving commercially sexually trafficked and exploited victims. It responds to the 2012 implementation of the Safe Harbor Act, which allowed sex-trafficked children to be considered dependent children in need of therapeutic services, rather than juvenile delinquents. The Open Doors Network created by Voices For Florida is a promising and well-coordinated framework, designed to serve exploited and trafficked children and young adults up to the age of 24 in five Florida pilot regions. More Too Life is honored to serve as the provider organization for the Suncoast Region, including Sarasota, Manatee, Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. Our collaborators include various in-county human service providers, including DCF, SCC, and DJJ, found in all our four counties. However, this allows us to have an extended reach within the entire state of Florida. Hereby, we are able to work more effectively with our other partner organizations across the state, adding up to 20 counties. This allows us to strengthen services and our award winning framework model by galvanizing our innovative survivor led, victim-centered services across county lines and collect more accurate data on traffickers and buyers operating across the state. We have determined that almost all of our CSEC victims have been trafficked outside of their home county, reaching as far as Orlando or Miami, which is why we emphasize an inter-county approach. In the several years of safe harbor existence, this legislation has lacked strategic development, coordination, and resources in cross-sector collaboration, training and trauma-informed crisis intervention, in order to meet the complex needs of trafficked victims. In order to improve the service outcomes for male and female victims, up to the age of 24, Voices For Florida implemented the Open Doors Outreach Network in five Florida regions. We at More Too Life are excited to announce that our organization has successfully demonstrated its capabilities during the rigorous application and assessment process, and has been chosen to be the primary facilitator for the Suncoast (Hillsborough, Manatee, and Sarasota county). We meet all the expected standards, including a team of highly trained survivor-mentors, who are on-call 24/7 to provide immediate crisis intervention, along with day-to-day trauma-informed care management, in tight collaboration with other community-wide and clinical services as well as law enforcement.

THE STORY OF OUR LOGO

Of course, we could have had one ‘O’ but two ‘O’s makes a chain. The two ‘O’s in our logo are symbolic of being once locked up on all levels, then walking across the bridge to the second ‘O’ that exemplifies an open and unlocked pathway to freedom.
