Therapeutic Services to Victims of Trauma

Taking Back Hope, Inc., was established in February 2007, by Founder and Executive Director, Lynnette Johnson, as a non-profit organization to address the needs and mental health concerns of child victims of trauma and sexual abuse.

Goals: Taking Back Hope, Inc. will provide evidence-based therapeutic services to primary and secondary victims of trauma, abuse/neglect, sexual abuse, and child sexual exploitation, in a drop-in center setting. The services will be targeted toward restorative and re-integrative treatment to enhance their ability to be self-sufficient.
