E9 - Ursel and Chelsey for Human Trafficking Awareness Month

JANUARY is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. Join me on "The Empty Chair" a LIVE podcast for the Addict that didn't make it. In this episode, I have "2" Amazing Survivors that will share their experience, strength and HOPE on escaping and surviving the sex trade industry. Hear how these 2 women turned their mess into a MESSAGE of VICTORY and offer an escape to hundreds of individuals that are struggling in the human trade industry and addiction.

Ursel, a woman in long-term recovery who is a survivor of human trafficking and the sex trade. Today she is a mother, a wife and a productive member of society.

Ursel shares herself and hope by working with women at a residential halfway house for women with substance use disorders and mental health as a recovery specialist, she also works at the Adelante program a program for victims of trafficking as a peer specialist.

In her downtime she enjoys quality with her family.

Chelsey is a survivor of domestic sex trafficking and a recovering heroin addict. She fled her trafficker in March of 2011 and has been in recovery from substance abuse since 2016. She went from victim to survivor when she found Jesus at the Salvation Army drug rehabilitation center.

Chelsey knows what it is like to leave the guilt and shame behind and is passionate about helping other women do the same. She is using her story of victory to give others hope and bring awareness about this current epidemic in our communities.

Chelsey works at a homeless shelter as a case manager for men and women who are struggling with addiction, mental illness and homelessness. She is also the outreach worker for the Salem, MA police department.
