January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month -make this a
time to raise awareness and take action to prevent human trafficking in our communities. Many of the calls that we receive on our hotline - the victims do not know that they are being trafficked! Ask questions, know who and what to look for!

This year’s theme, “Stronger Connections. Stronger Futures.”
highlights how everyday connections can prevent
human trafficking.

Strong, supportive relationships at home, at work, and
in our communities help protect people from human
trafficking and other forms of abuse. When individuals
are supported, valued, and connected to community,
it is harder for traffickers to isolate, manipulate, or
control them.

Throughout January, we encourage you to be
intentional about deepening connections with people
in your daily life—check in, listen, create welcoming
spaces, and build trust. Together, we can usher in a
future free from human trafficking.

How you can engage this month:
• Share information about Human Trafficking
Prevention Month with your networks/co-workers, friends and family.
• Promote resources that support safety, stability,
and well-being.

Stay informed and engaged throughout January by
visiting our office at 29 Abbitt Street or 119 S. Main Street or call our hotline at 336 599 7233

This Holiday Season, You Are Not Alone

As many in our community gather to celebrate Christmas, we recognize that this time of year can be especially difficult for individuals and families experiencing domestic violence, sexual assault or even human trafficking. While the holidays are often portrayed as joyful, they can also bring heightened stress, isolation, and increased risk for harm.

Please know that Safe Haven of Person County remains available throughout the holiday season. Our advocates are here to listen, support, and help you explore safe options—confidentially and without judgment.

If you or someone you know needs support, resources, or simply a safe place to talk, help is available. You do not have to face this alone.

📞 24/7 Crisis Line: (336) 599-7233
🌐 www.personcountysafehaven.org

We wish peace, safety, and healing to all this season.

TO OUR CLIENTS:
If you signed up for Christmas items for yourself and or your child(ren), and have not yet picked up your gifts, please do so as soon possible. We were fortunate enough to work with our community partners, churches and organizations, and each and every wish was granted for everyone that signed up.

If you cannot make it by the office due to transportation issues, please call us as soon as possible (336.330.0331) so that we can arrange to get your items to you. Our offices will be closed December 23rd-December 29th. Our Crisis line is available 24/7.

God Bless each of you!
