Force and coercion are often involved, and so are sexual abuse, drug use, and multiple arrests. So change happens step by step, day by day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s not always a big ah-ha,\u201d says Maxine Kimbrell, the staff social worker at Eden House. \u201cSometimes it\u2019s as simple as deciding they\u2019re going to follow a simple rule.\u00a0 You can tell that they\u2019re angry, but they\u2019re really coping with that and having a more appropriate response than the day before.<\/p>\n<p>Kimbrell says changing your life is a process. \u201cIt\u2019s that daily attempt to be different that I think is the most amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven within the first month of someone being here, you immediately start seeing changes in temperance, behavior, over all presentation of themselves. \u00a0That is really beautiful to me,\u201d says Helen Lindau, volunteer coordinator at Eden House.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOften we have people who come straight out of prison, so that brings a different culture into this environment \u2013 a defensiveness, wanting to click with other people and to slowly see that disappear and become more of a community is really cool.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Being a part of community is crucial to recovery at Eden House.<\/p>\n<p>Kara Van de Carr, Eden House founder, wanted to offer a place of healing for those who\u2019d been victimized.\u00a0 She knew that some of the best people to help these women were other survivors of human trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe model for living in community is based on Benedictine Monk model,\u201d explains Van de Carr, \u201cwhich is that the newest member of the community is the most valued and the most treasured; and the member of the community that\u2019s been there the longest is the one that gives back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Written by Eve Abrams for the Community IMPACT Series and produced by WWNO in partnership with the Greater New Orleans Foundation.
