A zero-barrier service where youth impacted by sexual violence or exploitation receive one-on-one support and coaching toward their self-determined goals.
MISSSEY’s intensive transformation coaching programs provide survivor and trauma-informed, culturally relevant, and strengths-based support to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment. We connect youth with a coach within 24 hours of receiving a referral. The staff assigned to the intake outreach will most likely continue to engage with the young person in the long term. This approach increases trust and relationship building with the youth, family, and other providers and alleviates the need for young people to tell their stories to multiple providers, as one person will be with them from intake to program completion, learning their histories, goals, triggers, challenges, and resources. Our Transformation Coaches work closely with systems-involved (juvenile justice or child welfare) and non-systems-involved youth ages 12-24 who are highly vulnerable to or already victimized by CSEC to assist with overall stability, including court advocacy, connections to medical and mental health professionals, housing, educational and vocational programs, and basic needs support. The timeline for coaching is based on the goals set by the young person and their progress. Our goal should be SMART - specific, measurable, actionable, relevant and time-bound- with outcomes that the young person has identified for themselves as important and achievable within three months.
