LEARN ·2025 Grants ChallengeMary’s Path: After-Care Support for Sex-Trafficked Teen Moms
Mary's Path, a State-licensed Short Term Residential Treatment Program (STRTP) facility serving teen moms from foster care (90+% have been sex-trafficked), will grow After-Care services in LA County through case management and an innovative model of “street outreach” to engage with teen moms who have exited Mary’s Path. After-Care helps to sustain healthy behaviors learned at Mary’s Path and ensures that teen moms are safely housed, physically/mentally well, and equipped with life skills and linkages to resources to support independent living.
