What - Adult Residential Facility
Resilience Rising's residential program is licensed as an adult residential facility* (ARF) through the California Department of Social Services. A small nonprofit program, we serve six young survivors at a time, providing a less institutional, more home-oriented setting. *opening in 2025​
Where - Blue Mind
Resilience Rising's ARF is nestled in the majestic hillside of Topanga Canyon in southern California just minutes from the Pacific Ocean. Its confidential, secluded location helps to mitigate safety concerns. The nearby ocean provides inherent 'blue mind' benefits for physical, mental, and spiritual healing.​
Who - Target Population
Resilience Rising's ARF serves young women - cis and trans - ages 18yo through 25yo who are survivors of sexual exploitation, trafficking, or exiting the sex trade. This program is for those in need of 24 hour care, supervision, and treatment, generally related to mental health, behavioral health, or substance abuse needs. We partner with Child Protective Services for older system-involved youth and law enforcement diversion programs for prostitution and drug concerns.
How - Services Provided
Resilience Rising provides trauma informed, survivor centered, evidence based programming that works to develop coping and life skills needed to break the intergenerational cycles of abuse and trauma that make these women vulnerable to sexual exploitation. Our focus is on providing opportunities for safety, healing, and empowerment through holistic interventions, individualized treatment planning, and case management.
