  • Summary

  • RISE (Restore Individual Self-Empowerment) Court is a court-sponsored program in the Akron, Ohio Municipal Court and is led by Judge Ron Cable. It was created to help adult female victims of human trafficking, prostitution, and sexual exploitation. Judge Cable began RISE to identify and help human trafficking victims and lead them as they create a new, positive path for themselves.

    Through the Akron Municipal Court's partnerships with outside agencies, RISE provides services such as trauma therapy, drug rehabilitation, housing, vocational sessions and other community support. One partner organization, the Hope Meadows Foundation, provides survivors with equine therapy.

    Judge Cable joins Anne Kichurchak and Lisa Borchert from the Hope Meadows Foundation in this episode to talk about how local government and local organizations can work together to provide help and healing for survivors.
