Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month and with Trafficking on the rise, there's an estimated 27.6 million people around the globe being trafficked. The healing place, located in Prestonsburg, is working to change that. We're seeing an increased amount of human trafficking folks coming through that they don't know how they get here. They just land here. They have no resources, no connections. A lot of times, they'll find themselves in situations where they become incarcerated. But we also have resources in the jails where we work with folks. So even once they get incarcerated, we still can reach them if they are willing for the assistance and help. The healing place also offers a sexual assault shelter for both men and women, forensic exams and outpatient services. We spoke to Green about what the process looks like when a victim calls the healing place. The first thing is we would get them to a secure location, do an assessment to see what safety measures need to be taken first. We also have advocacy and support that would be involved in working with them. And then we also have through community partnership legal resources that they can utilize. If you or someone you know is a victim of human trafficking or domestic abuse, call the Healing Place Crisis Line at 1-800-422-1060. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Brianna Robinson.
