Join F3 WEST INDY [https://www.f3westindy.com/] for our 1st annual, week-long virtual activity challenge, benefiting Ascent 121 [https://ascent121.org/]. This year, WE WILL ATTEMPT TO LOG 1,000 MILES of activity as a group. As sex trafficking is a huge issue all around the world, we have decided to step up and raise awareness in Louisville. All participants will track and report their mileage throughout the week. Together, we will log more than 1,000 combined miles of WALKING, RUNNING, CYCLING, OR WHATEVER YOUR FAVORITE ACTIVITY IS!

The goal of the event is to RAISE AWARENESS about the prevalence of sexual trafficking and exploitation in the Indianapolis area and around the world. This event is also a fundraiser to RAISE MONEY for a deserving nonprofit that helps survivors of sex trafficking from all around the country, but is based in Indianapolis called ASCENT 121. The funds raised through this event will go directly to the restoration of survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation.

ABOUT ASCENT 121 - https://ascent121.org/

Using best practices with a continuum of care, Ascent 121 provides trauma-informed therapeutic services that are survivor-centered and strengths-based. Survivors of commercial sexual exploitation present with unique needs for clinical support, where continuity is vital. Successful intervention requires both rapid and long-term interventions to help teens resist eloping or returning to their previous behavior. Much like domestic violence or substance abuse, relapse is an anticipated component of recovery.

Ascent 121 programs provide a continuum of care that allows clients to move back and forth between program settings throughout their treatment process. Our continuum utilizes a multiphase treatment approach that can be provided in multiple settings, allowing us to provide comprehensive treatment in the least restrictive setting as determined by individual risk and need. Ascent 121 staff are equipped with specialized training and supervision by experts across the country. Our continuum is comprised of four components: assessment, community-based therapy, residential programming, and case management.
