Center for the Healing & Cultural Arts: 

Our Healing Arts offer our clients a variety of mental health services to give them the care they need. We provide services for individuals, children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and groups. We use a holistic approach that is grounded in the belief that the mind, body, and spirit are interconnected to the soul.

Our Cultural Arts offer teens and community available opportunity to learn ancient Egyptian, African, Black American, European, Asian, and other world cultural history.   African History and ancient Egyptian Studies should be studied throughout the year and not just during Black History Month held in February. "Education is your passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today." This course supports this view and encourages people to learn about Black History and various cultures and use it to develop their lives and others.   Art shows and exhibits are an outlet of expression that is influenced by culture. 

Speaker's Bureau:  Neighborhood organizations, educational institutions, faith-based community, social clubs, and nonprofit organizations should feel free to request a speaker from our task force for your meeting or gathering in wishing to learn more about various aspects of child/teen sex trafficking.  Let's prevent it from happening to your daughter, sister, aunt, niece, granddaughter, cousin, friend, neighbor, classmate, church member, or anybody’s daughter.

Commercial sexual exploitation and human labor trafficking represent two examples of 21st Century slavery. Offenders have avoided the detection of law enforcement in the past. Human trafficking serves as a new commercial enterprise for criminal street gangs. Unlike drugs or weapons, the trafficking of human flesh involves a reusable and easily renewed resource. The victims are often children. By using the Internet and moving across jurisdictional lines, traffickers attempt to avoid detection. It has been estimated that human trafficking has become a more than $32 billion criminal enterprise worldwide in which more than 21 million men, women and children in 161 countries are being trafficked for commercial sex or forced labor.

Chastity House is committed to building community awareness, education, and prevention in Henry, Clayton, and S. Fulton counties. Our staff and volunteers live with the people they serve, providing tools to create lasting change.
