Through our direct services program, Grow Free TN, we offer a variety of services to those impacted by human trafficking. All of our services are free, individualized, and all-inclusive.
CCAHT serves as the single point-of-contact for all human trafficking referrals in the East Tennessee region. As a partner of the Tennessee Counter-Trafficking Alliance (TCTA), we are dedicated to providing holistic, wrap-around services to adult and youth survivors.
