January 11 is Human Trafficking Awareness Day. It is a day to honor survivors, educate our communities, and shine a light on an issue that often stays hidden. Human trafficking is not only a violation of safety and freedom. It also leaves deep emotional, psychological, and physical scars that can shape how a person sees the world and themselves long after the event ends.

At Alleviant, we believe healing is possible. The journey is not simple or fast, but with compassionate support, survivors can rebuild a sense of safety, identity, and hope. Understanding how trauma affects the brain and body is an important part of that process.
