A Note from the Executive Director

It is continually inspiring to walk alongside survivors of human trafficking as they pursue their dreams and degrees. We awarded scholarships to our largest class of recipients yet. This fueled college graduations, launched not one but two survivor-led non-profits, and created a Thriver Social gathering.

Did you get to join the festivities at our inaugural Brunchraiser or Girl’s Night Out? It was a gift to see our friends in person, and we look forward to expanding both of these fundraiser events next year.

We are able to continue to invest in solicitors and survivors in thanks to your generosity. Thank you for joining our vision of seeing all those impacted restored, welcomed into community, and thriving.

Courtney Schmackers, Executive Director

 
 

EDUCATE

We cannot respond appropriately to an issue as complex as human trafficking without first having a right understanding of what it is, how it happens, and who it impacts. SHAN believes education opens minds to care for all those impacted by human trafficking and can be a catalyst for connecting community resources with organizational needs.

 

In 2022-23 101 community members participated in our Anti-Human Trafficking Training offered in a virtual format in August (29) and June (17) and a hybrid format with virtual teaching and a live charette in February (55). Participants connected with our network of partners through a charette or panel. Many of our partner agencies have volunteer needs that are filled through these connections, meaning more survivors are served by those who are trained to appropriately respond.

 

Virtual trainings offered an accessible way to continue to equip corporate and community groups with the information to identify and report suspected cases of human trafficking. 570 community members tuned in to 12 off-site training programs.

 

305 adults and teens accessed the content over the course of the year. In partnership with the Harry C. Moores Foundation and Xcelerate Media SHAN updated our online course with the most recent available data. Video content was added across all four adult courses. Through our investment in online learning, we are able to reach audiences outside the central Ohio area right at the moment they are looking to learn more.

 

In partnership with the Columbus Care Coalition SHAN offered one training in March which prepared 13 participants to respond holistically. Participants are ready to directly serve those impacted by human trafficking through SHAN’s care programming or through one of our partner agencies.


 

CARE

Our vision is to see all those impacted by human trafficking restored into society. We act as a resource by providing support groups for survivors, thrivers, and solicitors. Our hope is to not only care for those who have already experienced exploitation, but to prevent human trafficking before it ever starts.

 
 
 

16 survivors of human trafficking attended She Has A Name’s Dream Sessions to discover what comes next. 9 Dream Scholarships were awarded for a total of $16,521. This means that 9 womxn are experiencing healing and empowerment in fresh ways. Dreaming after trauma, in short, re-wires the brain after years of living in a state of survival.

 

She Has A Name awarded 9 financial scholarships for a total of $23,810. Five of these awards were renewal applications, meaning that survivors aren’t just starting school, they’re completing degrees!

 

Thrivers often have needs that are different from newly sober survivors. Thrivers are often embarking on new leadership, career, and social journeys in addition to new paths in recovery. We've met needs in a few significant ways:

- Launched a second spiritual support group in May supporting up to 6 participants

- Continued our longstanding spiritual support group for 6 women. Some who have participated since 2017!

- Launched Thriver Social gatherings. 614Studio hosted our taco craft night and our friend Amanda led us in a floral design class at Flourish Studio | Petals That Inspire

 

We've had the privilege of serving alongside Lower Lights Recovery through a bi-weekly spiritual support group since 2019. 30+ unique individuals benefit each year and 10-15 womxn in any given week attend the group and receive a homemade meal thanks to Hope Presbyterian and Chroma Church! The group compliments physical and mental health resources by providing spiritual and social development, all of which contribute to holistic healing from trauma.

 

We hosted two programs in July and December 2022 at Veritas Community Church’s Tri City campus. A total of 33 people completed the program. Net proceeds totaling $6,121 were reinvested into our survivor scholarship programs. In October we were awarded a grant through the Attorney General’s office to hire a research fellow for our demand reduction programming. In addition to facilitating the Solicitor Education Program, Stew is researching how a history of childhood trauma influences the choice to solicit sex. He also leads our Demand Reduction Team. By educating buyers we realize our vision to care for all those impacted by human trafficking.
