The REST Integrated Health Clinic is a low-barrier, in-house clinic offering mental health therapy, medical services, spiritual support, and peer engagement to survivors in need of critical health services and nonjudgmental, trauma-informed care.

IHC will be contracting with International Community Health Services (ICHS) to serve as a satellite medical office at the REST IHC. Implementing this change will allow REST to provide more in-depth and critical medical services on site, greatly increasing the level of care the IHC provides to clients. The IHC will also be shifting the client intake process, moving away from all intakes starting with “The Table.” We plan to offer the Table as an optional starting point, providing clients with the option to go directly into setting up individual appointments with the practitioners.

REST projects the IHC will provide the following outputs to victims and survivors of commercial sexual exploitation in the third year:

Medical Services:

• Receive referrals for medical services for 80 unduplicated individuals.
• Physical health consultations and/or medical appointments for an estimated 60 clients.

Mental Health Services
