The Secret Place Home, Inc.

“A Safe Space of Refuge and Hope for Child Survivors of Human Trafficking”

By Alicia Tappan, Executive Director

Founded upon Psalm 91:1 (He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty), the Secret Place Home – Advocacy Center and CSEC Service Provider is a safe space for young ladies (ages 13-24 years of age) where healing will take place, dignity will be restored, and necessary trauma informed services will be provided.
