Description
The Cupcake Girls provides confidential support to those involved in the sex industry, as well as trauma-informed outreach, advocacy, holistic resources, and referral services to provide prevention and aftercare to those affected by sex trafficking. They provide nonjudgmental support to empower their program participants in their pursuits through respect, resources, and relationships.
The Cupcake Girls has created several partnerships in Las Vegas and Portland with mental, emotional, spiritual, physical and financial specialists, businesses and organizations in order to offer a well-rounded list of emotional, spiritual, physical and financial services to their program participants: sex workers or sex trafficking survivors looking for resources.
Their Direct Care Programs include:
The Referral Program serves program participants who have one or two particular needs by giving referrals to vetted, safe, and inclusive partners and resources who have agreed to see their program participants pro-bono or at a reduced cost. These partners may be individuals or organizations in the community and include doctors, tax preparers, therapists, and parent and family resources.
The Advocacy Program is for program participants with more robust goals. In this program, program participants have the opportunity to meet weekly with their Advocate who will collaborate with them to set and achieve S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, + Time-Based) goals, with the help of partners. The Advocacy Program assists with issues such as: domestic violence, sex trafficking, substance abuse, career development, and homelessness.
Support groups offer peer support on a weekly, 90 minute basis. Support Groups are for program participants of The Cupcake Girls and approved guests who are within the population they work with. Support groups are free.
The Mentorship program is for program participants seeking a support system and someone to check in with them on a regular basis, but who aren’t looking for connections to resources or assistance with achieving goals. Mentors meet with their program participants either bi-weekly or monthly, based on the program participant’s preference.
The outreach program creates opportunities to use cupcakes to build trusting relationships with potential program participants through community connections, networking opportunities, and upon request in-club and brothel outreach efforts.
