Transcript of Using Healing Design to Rescue Children from Commercial Sex Trafficking
January 11, 2016
ABSTRACTThe current paper presents the concepts behind the design of a homelike facility on a secluded campus for long-termresidential care for exploited adolescents, specifically females ages 11-17, who have been victims of commercial sexualexploitation. The treatment model is innovative in that it is a long-term treatment and housing solution with no pre-defined maximum length of stay. Integral to the model is the assumption that the built environment has direct andindirect effects on mental health.(1) This paper presents the research behind the design thinking and specific designelements to create a homelike environment. Research indicates the positive effects of a familiar homelike environment. tobe: support of a healthy, coherent life view; lowering of resident and staff stress levels and restoration from fatigue;facilitating personal control; and supporting socially supportive relationships. The result is that residents are moretrusting and accepting of treatment. Research on the direct correlation between the homelike character and specific
residential design elements to the success of treatment will be forthcoming when the model site, Courage House
Northern California is operational.
