Psycho-social counselling towards an individual life plan

The types of physical and psychological abuse human trafficking victims experience often lead to serious mental or emotional health consequences. Their trust has been violated and many of them suffer from complex trauma.

We help our clients with the healing process by providing a safe and stable environment where they are offered a chance to connect with our psycho-social counselors and tell their story with the help of interpreters.

We work with each victim to develop an individual life plan that helps them access their rights and rebuild their future. We help our clients consider options for continuing education, vocational training and job placement.

Legal and administrative support

We help our clients deal with administrative hurdles regarding application for residence, work permits and travel documents, as well as paperwork for health care and other social services.

Legal advice and counselling, through the help of lawyers and interpreters, are offered to inform victims about their legal rights and obligations and to pursue cases against the perpetrators.

Payoke may act as plaintiff in court on its own behalf or on behalf of the victim.

Outpatient care

Outpatient care is offered to clients who live on their own.

The centres work closely with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), Caritas and recognized NGO referral networks to facilitate the repatriation of clients who wish to return to their country of origin, whenever it is safe to do so
