When you call
Someone picks up. That is where it starts.
Nothing is required of you first. You can say no to any part of this and keep the rest. You can change your mind. You can stop and come back.
-
A person answers
You talk to a trained advocate, not a recording tree and not an intake form.
-
You are believed
We do not ask you to prove what happened to you, and we do not ask you to tell it more times than you want to.
-
You set the pace
Every service is voluntary. Nothing is conditional on cooperating with a police report or a prosecution.
-
Tonight comes first
A safe place, food, clothing, hygiene, a phone. The plan for the week comes after the plan for today.
-
Then the long part
Housing, health care, counseling, documents, benefits, court, and work, coordinated by one advocate who knows your situation.
-
We stay
Case management does not end when the emergency does. Our door stays open behind you.
Call to Freedom serves anyone impacted by trafficking.
Any gender. Any age. Any background.
Children and young people from birth through 24 are served by our youth team, and adults by our adult team. Men and boys are vulnerable to sex trafficking, labor trafficking, and commercial sexual exploitation, and our services are provided regardless of gender, age, race, immigration status, or any other factor.
What we help with
The practical things that decide whether freedom holds.
All of it is free. Services are provided at no cost to the people we serve. The work is funded by donors, grants, and partners.
Safety planning
A safety and security assessment, a plan for tonight, and a plan for the week, built around your actual situation.
Housing
Housing navigation and advocacy, rental assistance, transitional housing, and a supportive housing site.
Basic needs
Food, clothing, hygiene, a phone, and the everyday things nobody thinks to count until they are gone.
Medical and dental
Connection to medical and dental assistance, and occupational therapy through our team.
Counseling
Therapy for trauma and addiction, through trauma-informed community partners we trust.
Transportation
Staff and a volunteer transportation team assist with getting to court, treatment, appointments, and work.
Legal and advocacy
Support navigating charges, records, protection orders, custody, and replacing identification documents.
Online abuse and image removal
If images have been shared, or someone is threatening to share them, we can help with removal and reporting. How that works.
Family support
Help for parents, guardians, and family members of a child or young adult who has been victimized.
For professionals
How to refer someone.
Call 605-759-3565. That is the referral process. No documentation, no confirmed case, no police report.
Referrals reach us from law enforcement, emergency departments and clinics, schools and school counselors, shelters, probation and parole, child welfare, addiction treatment programs, employers, faith communities, and families.
If you are not certain that what you are seeing is trafficking, call anyway. Sorting that out is our work, not yours, and the cost of waiting for certainty is measured in people.
Report a concern
Where to report trafficking in South Dakota.
Do not investigate it yourself. Confronting a suspected trafficker puts the victim in more danger, not less. Write down what you saw, when, and where. Let trained responders take it from there.
Do you have an emergency shelter?
Not currently. We support people who need housing through housing navigation and advocacy, transitional housing, rental assistance, and a supportive housing site, and our staff works with community partners to secure emergency housing when it is needed tonight.
Do you serve men and boys?
Yes. Men and boys are vulnerable to sex trafficking, labor trafficking, and commercial sexual exploitation. Our services are provided regardless of gender, age, race, or any other demographic factor.
Can you help with transportation?
Yes. Staff can assist with transportation where it is safe to do so, and we have a volunteer transportation team. Client and staff safety governs every decision.
My child was victimized. What do I do?
Call 605-759-3565. Our youth team coordinates age-appropriate services for people ages 0 to 24, and we have supports specifically for parents, guardians, family members, and support systems, including our Parent Connections training series.
Will this cost me anything?
No. Call to Freedom services are provided at no cost to the people we serve.
Do I have to talk to police to get help?
No. Our services are voluntary and survivor-led. You do not have to file a report, press charges, or testify to receive help. You decide what happens next.
