Lifeline Community Services and the Bilateral Safety Corridor Coalition co-hosted a session at the County of San Diego’s Live Well Conference, highlighting ways to identify barriers and adapt services to better support survivors of human trafficking.

At Lifeline, we believe change happens when we listen, learn, and refine our approach through a trauma-informed lens. This model strengthens anti-trafficking efforts and guides programs serving people experiencing homelessness, substance use, and domestic violence.

As Ashley Johnson from Project LIFE shared, “It’s a privilege getting to be part of someone’s healing journey.” Together, we work alongside survivors to help them see their full potential and shape systems that evolve with their needs. 💜

Huge thanks to San Diego FC for visiting our Club Crown Heights youth. We were honored to have David Vásquez and Alejandro Alvarado join us for a soccer clinic, art activities, and autographs that inspired our kids.

Kids had a Q&A session where they asked players about their favorite animal, favorite team, what they want to be when they grow up, and so many other fun questions!

Memorable moments like these allow our youth to reimagine their future and build confidence. Thank you for believing in their potential and standing with community. 💚
