The Family Partnership

PRIDE Anti Sex Trafficking: TFP provides support services to sexually exploited and at-risk youth, adults, and their families through the PRIDE (Promoting Recovery, Independence, Dignity, and Equality) program. PRIDE was created in partnership with a trafficking survivor and their therapist in 1978 and was the first program for such survivors in Minnesota. The program employs a holistic approach to combat sexual exploitation, which includes disrupting demand, providing services to those impacted, and changing systemic factors that lead to exploitation and abuse. PRIDE continued to work with participants on achieving a life free of exploitation and abuse while moving toward self-sufficiency. This included providing evidence-based curricula, intensive cash management support groups, youth prevention groups, LGBTQ+ and male-specific services, a 24-hour crisis line, transitional housing, court advocacy services, street outreach, and mental health therapy. In 2024, we served 660 people; 78% of participants decreased their involvement in the commercial sex industry, and 85% maintained or improved their incomes.

Mental Health Services: TFP continued to see an immense need for healing from recent stressors, including the COVID-19 pandemic, community violence, and economic uncertainty. These factors, alongside the longstanding impact of systemic inequalities and racism, drive a significant demand for access to affordable mental health services. TFP serves some of the most affected communities, and our work with individuals and families in 2024 continued to focus on healing and building resilience. TFP provided mental health therapies through five programs in 2024: 1) outpatient mental health; 2) multi-systemic therapy; 3) school-linked mental health; 4) developmental therapies; and 5) the Diversity Social Work Advancement Program (DSWAP). In 2024, we served 1,067 individuals and 92% of clients with 6+ months of service made progress towards their treatment goals.

Family Home Visiting: TFP home visiting services focus specifically on strengthening the health and well-being of families, leading to better futures for the next generation. Many of the families we engage in our family home visiting program face significant trauma, poverty, lack of resources, and lack of access to care and development. Trained family home visitors offer them a lifeline through connection to resources, coaching and guidance, support, and encouragement.
