Hear the story that started it all. In this module, Harmony shares her journey from working in strip clubs under the control of a pimp, to founding an organization that reaches and empowers women on a global scale.
Module 2: Mission & Values
Learn why the ever-so-common “rescue mentality” can be damaging to outreach and recovery efforts. Explore the top three values of Treasures and how they might infuse the work that you do. The Outreach and Care track will also cover how to develop a mission statement, determine your values and choose a name that properly reflects both.
Module 3: Faith and Partnership
*Not included in Allies & Service Providers Track*
Discover why conventional approaches to ministry may be ineffective and even harmful. Learn how to meaningfully engage your faith in a way that considers the felt needs and pain points of the women you desire to serve. Explore tangible ways of engaging your local church.
Module 4: Unpacking Exploitation
Take a deep dive into exploitation and the broader issues that fuel sex trafficking. Learn about the unique tactics of different types of traffickers and explore the individual and systemic issues that lure women in and keep them stuck.
Module 5: Psychological Chains
Why doesn’t she just leave? This module will answer this question with a deep dive into the psychosocial factors that play a role in keeping women trapped in the commercial sex industry, exploitation and trafficking.

This track will explore Treasures’ unique, survivor-developed, trauma-informed best practices for care. These principles and practices have been honed over the course of two decades and are sure to bring strength to the work that you do.
Module 8: Healthy Leadership
In a field that is known for high burn-out rates and compassion fatigue, the importance of emotionally healthy leadership cannot be overstated. This module seeks to empower leaders with insights into the signs of and solutions to codependent tendencies, the liberating role of boundaries, and the ability to recognize and address secondary trauma. Through it, you will learn leadership practices that will enable you to engage in this work in a way that is healthy and sustainable.
Module 9: Share Responsibly
