Deborah's Gate
Offers a free, high-security safe house and rehabilitative residential program designed to provide wraparound support for survivors of exploitation and human trafficking. Open to self-identified female survivors age 16 and older; clients under 19 are subject to work in partnership with Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD). Also open to survivors of all cultures and backgrounds, with or without status. The Live-In Program provides up to 10 survivors with a customized recovery experience, offering 24/7 staff support, individualized case management, specialized therapies, multi-faith chaplaincy, community engagement, life skills development, and psychoeducational programming. Not an emergency shelter; the intake process generally takes one to three months, depending on each client’s needs. Survivors remain in the program for an average of six to nine months. The facility is child-free, pet-free, and sober (will accept individuals on opioid replacement therapy if they are under the care of a physician), creating a safe, focused environment for participants to engage in full-time, intensive recovery programming. This includes mental health support, addiction recovery, life skills, safety planning, and community-building. Clients are expected to actively participate in the program to benefit from the comprehensive services offered.
Illuminate also offers outreach, community case management and programs to survivors of any gender through the Propel Survivor Development Centre; see the independent Illuminate record for more information.
