REST was thrilled to table at King County’s Behavioral Health Forum last week. 💜 We shared about our survivor centered mental health and substance use recovery services, where 81% of enrolled clients reported improved mental health last year.

Save the date: #GivingTuesday is December 2! 💛

Even $5, $10, or $25 helps provide safety, support, and a path forward for survivors of sex trafficking. Small gifts. Big Hope.
