Our program is unique in that we are committed to use only counselors who are licensed, or supervised by licensed, masters' level mental health counseling professionals; that our professional counseling staff do their own out-reach, taking their services to the youth, in the youth's own environments; and that all our clients have 24 hour a day, seven days a week access to someone on the counseling staff that they already know and trust!

Our success is impressive. In the last four years,we have been instrumental in assisting well over 100 youth to move from street prostitution and homelessness to more responsible and safer living situations. We have also provided the counseling and supportive services to countless other youth so that they could either remain home or transition to emancipation, and avoid the horrors of homelessness and survival sex.
