Healing Action Network
Our Impact
Healing Action Network partners with survivors and communities across Missouri to strengthen safety, expand access to care, and advance responses that hold offenders accountable. We fulfill our mission through three connected programs that meet immediate needs while building long-term stability.
Center for Survivors
Our direct-service hub provides safety-focused support like intensive service management, counseling, peer groups, psychoeducation, and a welcoming drop-in space for adults impacted by trafficking and exploitation in the St. Louis region. The goal: practical stability today and stronger futures tomorrow.
Coalition Against Trafficking & Exploitation (CATE)
CATE unites agencies statewide to prevent and respond to trafficking and exploitation through coordinated workgroups, policy engagement, shared data, standards of care, and training. In recent years, CATE has grown to 50 coalition member agencies and delivered 205 trainings reaching 8236 community members across Missouri.
Volunteer Service Link
VSL grows Missouri’s safety net by recruiting and placing volunteers and AmeriCorps service members with victim-service providers. Since launch, VSL has placed 110 service members across 11 agencies, contributing 82,000+ service hours that extend advocacy, outreach, data capacity, and daily program operations.
Why This Matters
When survivor services, a statewide coalition, and a volunteer corps work in sync, more people are identified sooner, connected to trustworthy support, and able to rebuild with dignity—while communities become better equipped to prevent harm. Your partnership helps us keep this network strong.
