Trauma Recovery for Exploited Women:


A women’s trauma recovery home, a place to rest, recover, and grow.

Located at a confidential location, TREW home offers a place of refuge and renewal for women who have survived sex trafficking and sexual exploitation. With trauma‑informed staff present around the clock, the home creates space for healing, growth, and the rediscovery of hope.

  • In 2025, TREW had the privilege of supporting 17 women through both outreach and housing, standing with them as they navigated their individual paths toward safety, stability, and hope.
  • T.R.E.W was the only trauma recovery house in operation in the Maritimes in 2025.
  • Keeping our RESTORATION project, T.R.E.W, running at full capacity, requires about $550,000 annually. It’s a major undertaking, but one that transforms lives every single day.

Testimony of healing:

“One of the ladies at TREW was feeling frustrated with herself during the program. She was being very hard on herself because she kept getting confused between her own healthy thoughts and the beliefs she had been groomed to accept. In the middle of her frustration, she paused — and I gently reminded her that confusion is a normal response after grooming and trauma. I told her, “It is not your fault. “She loves painting rocks, and the next day when I came in for my shift, she showed me one she had painted. On it were the words: “It’s not your fault. “I was so touched. Not only did she hear what I said — she understood it, claimed it, and made it her own. Moments like this remind me how powerful our words can be, and how meaningful trauma‑informed care truly is.”
