How we can help
CEASE Programs
CEASE is an Edmonton-based root cause organization that is building bridges over poverty and provides tools for individuals to heal, rebuild, and create improved futures for themselves and their families. Our vision is a community of hope, respect, and transformation for individuals, families, and communities affected by sexual exploitation, sex trafficking, and social inequality.
We offer programs that use three strategies to assist individuals in creating improved futures for themselves and their families: heal the harm, build for the future, and inspire positive change.
Our programs include court support and advocacy, financial empowerment, bursaries, one-to-one coaching and system navigation, poverty relief, transitional support, and peer support. Our programs assist individuals with past or current sex trade experience, including the commercial sex industry, sex trafficking, and survival sex trade. This also includes sex buyers and affected families and communities.
