usually like the movie Taken, where the victim is stolen off the street. “It’s a lot of coercion and manipulating of trust, lies and kind of deceitfulness,” she said. “They seek out these women who are potentially fragile in that way and they exploit it.” Kirkpatrick said if the trafficker is female, she might befriend the potential victim at school and then say, “Hey, you know I’ve got this guy.” If the trafficker is male, he might become her boyfriend or take her out and buy her nice things and treat her really well because traffickers focus on people who are searching for and craving love because of a past trauma. “They seek out these women who are potentially fragile in that way and they exploit it,” Kirkpatrick said. After about a year in human trafficking, she found a way out of the life she was stuck in. After a couple stints in jail, she saw the phone number for The WellHouse in her Facebook messenger from her son’s grandmother. She got out of jail, called the number, and they picked her up the next day. She began her time at The WellHouse in October 2015 and was there for two years. “It was probably the best thing that I could’ve ever done,” Madison said. Once at the property, Kirkpatrick said women like Madison first go to a short-term house called the “immediate shelter,” where the goal is to improve their health. There is a doctor who comes once a week, and the women wear donated clothes because they often arrive with nothing. Madison said that never having to wonder what she was going to eat or where she was going to stay gave her an opportunity to think about her future and what steps she could take to reach goals she hadn’t had before. The women also have a caseworker, trauma counselor and a general counselor who have individual sessions and group therapy with the victims. “We try to get them back to square one,” Kirkpatrick said. “They’ve seen a lot of trauma, and they are in rough shape when we get them, and so it’s just all about recovery and restoring them to where they need to be.” Madison has been out of The WellHouse for a year now, and she is in school with full custody of her son. She was diagnosed with Hepatitis C when she first got to The WellHouse, but she got medication for it and is healthy. She reached her three-year sobriety anniversary in October. In a state where a network of traffickers is creating a stronghold, Carolyn Potter, CEO of the WellHouse, is creating an even stronger network of people fighting to put an end to the trafficking industry. Potter encourages people to support or volunteer with organizations like The WellHouse. She also recommends learning common signs of trafficking, such as branding or tattoos of the trafficker on the victim, downcast eyes, fearful posture, and the appearance of being malnourished and sleep-deprived. “Spotting signs of victims is key,” Potter said. “If you learn to spot the signs, you can call the police and save a life.” 38 <strong>Alice</strong> Spring 2019
