A program for healing, discovery

and empowerment

YOUR HOPE RISES HERE

We believe that you are a unique and beautiful person created by God with untapped potential and purpose.

The Hope Rising Arizona team is committed to walking with you every step of your journey. As you commit to the 3 phase program you will find healing, hope and personal growth for a brand new life.

THE PHASES OF OUR PROGRAM:

  • The Grace Phase - Stabilization (3-9 Months)

    Grace is the power by which healing occurs.

    In the first phase of our program residents will focus on learning how to love themselves by exploring God’s unconditional love for them. They will participate in trauma-informed classes (approximately 15 hours per week), learn about self exploration (self-care), safety, life skills, healthy coping methods, engage in multiple positive group activities, experience encouragement, all while participating in various health and wellness services. 

    “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

    -Psalm 147:3


  • The Freedom Phase - Healing/Growth (6-12 Months)

    Freedom is always to be both free from something in order to be free for something.

    The second phase of our program will center on teaching residents to think beyond themselves by putting into action what God calls us to do: to serve others. Residents will dive deeper into personal development trauma therapy with providers and other skill development activities while taking on basic leadership roles within the program. Residents begin researching and finalizing their individualized education plans, which may include online GED prep courses, college courses, trade schools, or specialized certificates. Residents will also begin to receive aid with any legal or financial issues they have on their record.

    “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good servants of the manifold grace of God.”

    -1 Peter 4:10

  • The Hope Phase - Building Your Dream (10-24 Months)

    Hope means looking to the future with assurance. Because we know Jesus, and believe He has a plan for our lives, we have HOPE and the necessary tools to build a brand new life.

    Residents will create a 1-2 year plan towards independent offsite living, while continuing their weekly trauma informed courses, group wellness activities, and ongoing education or job training part-time. Money management, and legal assistance for any existing criminal records, will be offered. Residents have an opportunity to lead within group activities. This may include guest speaking, organizing new or on-going projects, heading a life skills course, and/or volunteering within the local community.

    “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

    -Jeremiah 29:11

  • Thriving - Independent Life After the HRAZ Program

    After transitioning to thriving in a life of independence off-site, Hope Rising Arizona will be an ongoing resource.

    “Thriving” essentially means that our clients will have graduated and completed the program and have transitioned to off-site independent living.  Hope Rising Arizona will always be committed to post-residential support, assisting individuals in securing the services, connections and community needed for their long term success. This includes connecting with outside recovery support groups, finding a church home, nutrition assistance, and outside partner agencies that can help with sustained success.

    “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

    -2 Corinthians 5:17

Is this program a fit for me?

  • Our program is designed for female adult survivors of sex trafficking or exploitation.

  • As an adult sanctuary shelter, women must be at least 18 year of age, up to 30 years of age. Considerations may be made for women slightly over the age of 30 that are identified as a strong fit for our program.

  • At this time our program is only designed for women who are not currently pregnant and who have no children. As we grow our program in the coming years, our desire is to add services to pregnant survivors and to women with children.

  • We are not a clinical facility and thus we don't provide detox. We require that survivors who struggle with addiction have gone through detox prior to becoming a resident in our program.

  • We are not a mental health provider and out of the best interest of the safety of all residents, some prospective residents may not be a fit for our program based on severity of diagnosis and/or a past history of self harm or violence/harm of others.

    Individuals with a current SMI diagnosis who are accepted to our program are required to be under the supervision of a provider, following a treatment plan, and taking any medications prescribed.

  • While we assist with connecting the residents to licensed healthcare, legal, and counseling professionals, we contract many therapeutic services and programs for the residents, such as: equine, art, K9, yoga, and music therapies.

  • Our staff and volunteers have all been trained in trauma informed care but are not licensed therapists. While we are not a mental health facility, healing from trauma is paramount to our program and we will help facilitate the process of residents finding and seeing a licensed therapist or provider.

  • We are a faith based programming with services and offerings such as group prayer time, daily spiritual encouragement, attending Sunday services at a church, a structured bible study, etc. Faith based encouragement may also take place in a less structured way with an Art Therapist or in a Physical Fitness Class, or perhaps on a hike, as well.

    Residents are not required to take part in structured faith based offerings like church services or bible studies but as a faith based nonprofit spiritual encouragement may be informally woven in at any moment of programming.

    There is no requirement for any resident to be a Christian nor will any resident ever be judged or pressured.

    Any survivor who experiences our program, Christian or otherwise, will leave our program having the skills and tools necessary to build the life of their dreams.
