Healing Action Online Services

Individuals recovering from trauma often need support at any time. This is true even when the agencies they rely on are not open and when there is a long wait list for services. These clients should have the opportunity to receive some form of assistance at all times. The most practical way to provide this is by creating a mobile-friendly website made specifically for current clients to access when the agency is closed or for waitlist clients to access at any time. The website "Healing Action Online Services" fills this need for the St. Louis non-profit Healing Action and improves accessibility to trauma informed services for survivors of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation.
