Magdalene’s, Inc., is a member of the Thistle National Network.
Thistle Farms, founded in 1997, provides long-term residential care to survivors of trafficking, prostitution and addiction. Its homes operate on a holistic model with no authority living in the house. Each one represents a community built on trust and love. Five years after graduation, 75% of its graduates are living healthy, financially independent lives. Its Core Principles are built on survivor-led communities offering survivor-centered care and based on three foundations, Health, Employment and Housing.
The mission of the Thistle National Network is to drive systemic change by growing a survivor-led community that connects survivors of trafficking, prostitution, addiction and abuse to opportunities for healing and empowerment. An affiliate member is an organization that is working toward implementing Core Principles and meeting benchmarks set forth in their Survivor-Leader Pathway.
Magdalene’s seeks to build strategic partnerships to ensure quality care for survivors and efficient use of community resources.
To ensure the highest quality of services for our survivors, we are in the process of engaging in partnerships with local, well respected organizations that are already providing Intensive Outpatient Recovery Programs, trauma-informed masters level counselors, medical and dental care and legal advocacy.
