      About Brigid's


Brigid’s House of Hope is New Hampshire’s first long-term restorative safe house for survivors of Human Trafficking in New Hampshire and surrounding areas. Brigid’s House of Hope is here to help support survivors who enter our program a safe space to heal and aid in their ultimate transition to safely reintegrate into their community.

Currently there are no other non-profits that offer what

Brigid's House of Hope is providing to our communities. 


This fundraising effort will allow us to continue to provide support to survivors and staff. 


Our goal is to continue to raise money and raise awareness of the

need for safe housing and safe communities for survivors. 


Brigid's House of Hope fills in the gaps of services needed to transition individuals

into secure, long-term aftercare, to minimize the risk of re-exploitation. 


WAYS TO GET INVOLVED

GET INFORMED

  • Human Trafficking is the exploitation of a person through labor, services, or a commercial sex act by force, fraud, or coercion. This is happening in New Hampshire and the state’s taskforce is continuously working to develop and implement a multidisciplinary response to human trafficking in New Hampshire.

  • Without specialized safe housing dedicated solely to victims of human trafficking, service providers and law enforcement end up scrambling to locate emergency housing in other states where there are llimited beds available and long waiting lists. This issue can lead to the use of secondary shelter options that may not be safe nor suitable for victims to begin their road to recovery. 


    The goal of intervention for persons that have experienced trafficking is to remove the person from the exploitative situation and return them safely to their home or another community. In order to do so, a safe place to live while they recover and rebuild is one of the greatest needs a victim of trafficking has.

  • Recognizing potential warning signs and indicators of human trafficking is the first step to identifying a survivor and helping them find the assistance they need. The following is a list of indicators provided by the NH Human Trafficking Collaborative Task Force. This list is not exhaustive but represents a selection of possible indicators which we often identify in NH from those who have experienced sex and/or labor trafficking. 


    Indicators

    • Scars and mutilations
    • Tattoos/branding
    • Signs of abuse (bruises, cuts, burns), unexplained injuries
    • Drug or alcohol misuse
    • Malnourishment and/or signs of poor physical or dental health
    • Evidence of being controlled, restricted communication
    • Person with them does not allow them to speak or answer questions
    • Fearful, anxious or submissive
    • Not in possession or control of their ID, documents, cell phone, money
    • May not know what city/state they are in
    • Sudden addition of new possessions or the appearance that a lot of money has been spent
    These should not be taken as proof that human trafficking is occurring but if several of these are identified, can give reason to report your concerns to law enforcement.
