Mending the Soul steps into the gap to offer support for sexually abused and exploited adults and teens. We provide a sustainable, community-based model that resources and equips caregivers of complex-trauma survivors to become compassionate mentors and advocates. Princess Lost and Found is a four-piece curriculum that weaves the social science research, including the experiences of sexually exploited girls, with a faith-based, clinical model of healing and forgiveness.

Princess Lost: the Story of our Daughters is an allegorical fairytale for survivors, including a musical CD of 18 original healing songs that supplement each chapter. The Princess Lost Journal gives helpful writing prompts for survivors to use as they begin to process their stories. Finally, Princess Found: A Guide for Mentors of Sexually Exploited Girls directs advocates and caregivers in the compassionate and holistic care of the girls they mentor.

Testimony from an abuse survivor and co-founder of an anti-trafficking ministry:

“I joined the Princess Lost and Found Training earlier in the year because I am the co-founder and co-director of an anti-trafficking ministry and decided to use Princess Lost and Found as our primary curriculum to lead our tween and teen girls in inner healing. We’ve done one chapter per month on average, except when there were emergencies—like trips to hospitals, psych wards, etc. It’s pretty crazy on a daily basis, but the inner healing for the girls has been fantastic.

As a survivor myself, and as our house mom is also a survivor, she and I are MOST grateful that we started our own healing with Princess Lost and Found beforehand. We could not have possibly gone any faster ourselves and led the girls at the same time.

God obviously guided this process, and it has been amazing!”

 FAQs

  • Mending the Soul equips organizations with resources and training for working with individuals who have experienced complex trauma, abuse, and distortion of their original design. To work directly with survivors of trafficking, we recommend you connect with an organization that offers direct care whose staff and board have done their own healing, been highly trained in working with traumatized individuals, and offer ongoing training and self-care programs for leadership and staff.

  • Mending the Soul works extensively with many abuse and trauma survivors, and we continue to engage with them for curriculum research and development. However, our main focus is using our developed and proven resources to train and equip the people and organizations who work daily with survivors of every kind of complex trauma.

  • The Princess Lost and Found training can be adapted for both male and female survivors, and the Princess Found Mentor’s guide can also be used with male survivors and adapted to meet their individual needs. Creating more resources specifically for boys/men who have experienced complex trauma such as exploitation and trafficking is one of the future projects for Mending the Soul. If you would like to donate to this particular area of need, consider giving a gift today!
