Mission Statement
The Well is a group home for victims of sex trafficking. Once referred to us or placed in care by other agencies, women reside at the facility and receive education, training, medical care and social services during a 2 year program. Formerly known as Refuge, Inc, the Well of Lexington opened our first facility for women in August 2016. We hope to have additional facilities in the future. For more information, please contact our administrative offices below or send us an email.
About This Cause
Mission: Provide safe, supportive housing and comprehensives services free of charge for two years for adult women survivors of sexual exploitation, prostitution and addiction in Fayette County, Kentucky and surrounding areas. To provide intensive case management services including: •Medical Evaluation & Care •Dental Care •Mental/Behavioral Healthcare •Addiction Counseling •Education/Vocational Training •Legal Services •Employment Assistance The Well of Lexington is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization committed to helping women live free from sexual exploitation, addiction and homelessness. We provide a two-year residential program of recovery and renewal for women who have survived sex trafficking or prostitution, and most often also suffer from substance abuse, and want a safe and healing environment in which to rest, recover, and create new and healthier lives for themselves. Modeled after the Magdalene Program at Thistle Farms® in Nashville, Tennessee, we take a "housing first" approach. Women who enter The Well have a welcoming home and community to live in, free-of-charge, for up to two years while they participate in the Program. During this time, each Resident receives comprehensive professional case management to help her obtain all of the services necessary to begin the process of healing. We work closely with other non-profit organizations and government agencies in Central Kentucky to make the following available to our Residents: medical and dental care; mental health services including intensive outpatient drug/alcohol rehabilitation and individual therapy; ongoing addiction recovery support; and legal help as needed. After a woman has been at The Well of Lexington for four months, she will receive vocational and educational training applicable to her circumstances. In addition, she will have the opportunity to work part-time for an employer in the community approved by The Well or through any social enterprise The Well may sponsor. The Well of Lexington is not a licensed drug or alcohol treatment facility or an addiction recovery program, nor are we a half-way house or other transitional housing, homeless shelter or day center. And, while our Program is not "faith based," we are driven by faith in the ability of the human spirit to triumph over tremendous adversity, and by the healing power of love. Whether a Resident engages in religious worship is her personal choice. The Well of Lexington will respect whatever that choice may be.
