Welcome to the "Let's Talk About Sex...Trafficking" Podcast where you will learn how to spot, report, and prevent trafficking. Every week you will hear our guests share real facts, real stories, and real ways you can help eradicate trafficking in the United States by 2030. This week Safe House Project co-founders, Brittany Dunn& Kristi Wells, are joined by Survivor Leader Kimberli Kocherans.

Kimberli Kocherhans is a mother and grandmother, artist, writer, Ironman 70.3 and activist. She is the president and founder of The Healing Center For Complex Trauma, a facility that will provide comprehensive services for those suffering from the effects of trafficking and profound trauma.

Kimberli is an advocate, educator and consultant where she works directly with survivors of human trafficking, domestic violence and providers of service. She is an active member of the Utah Trafficking In Persons Task Force, National Survivor Network, and National Leadership Institute. She volunteers for anti-human trafficking organizations and American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

She has presented for such organizations as Hill Air Force Base, The Utah Department of Corrections and The University of Utah Hospital Department of Social Work on the topics of Human Trafficking and “A Survivor’s Story: Navigating The Effects of Complex Trauma”.

Because of her own experience in human trafficking and torture and the extreme difficulty of trying to heal and being unable to find adequate and sustainable services, Kimberli is determined to make the healing journey for survivors possible and accessible including assisting providers to incorporate best practices and attitudes in their approach.

Safe House Project's vision is to see communities across America unite to end domestic sex trafficking and restore hope and freedom to every survivor, while building a better future through preventing the spread of child sex trafficking. When everyone engages for change, we can eradicate child sex trafficking in America by 2030.
