RECEIVING HOPE CENTER
Providing trauma-informed care to survivors of Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking in the service of physical, emotional and mental restoration.
Opened in 2020, the Receiving Hope Center (RHC) is Georgia’s first stabilization program created specifically for youth ages 12–17 who have survived commercial sexual exploitation. At RHC, we provide more than care—we provide a community where young people can feel safe, supported, and hopeful about their futures.
Our team offers trauma-informed, individualized support that meets each youth where they are. Through crisis stabilization, long-term residential care, mental health services, on-site education, coordinated and supported medical care, and enrichment activities, we walk alongside every child on their journey toward healing.
Each resident has their own private space, access to compassionate clinicians and educators, and opportunities to grow through creative, recreational, and life-skills experiences. With partnerships like the Paulding County School District, we help youth re-engage with learning and build confidence for what’s next.
At RHC, healing happens through trust-based relationships – Connecting, Empowering and Correcting. Together, we’re nurturing resilience and restoring hope—one young life at a time.
