Sarah’s House is a loving home where she is safe and able to heal, grow, and learn for a season of her life.

We are so proud of each resident and her journey toward health and wholeness.

Research has shown that resilience can overcome trauma and improve optimism, while decreasing anxiety and depression.

Our Indonesian staff receive ongoing training that is trauma-informed and designed to build strength and resilience. Each phase of the aftercare program provides specific resilience building targets for each girl and is implemented throughout all levels of our program.

She is mentored by her case coordinator, who provides guidance, wisdom and support. Together, they set specific goals and monitor her progress as she plans for the future.
