Two former clients share their stories of leaving polygamous communities and finding strength, healing, and a new beginning with support.

Growing up in a fundamentalist polygamist group, I was prepared for labor and subjugation, not the real world. By eighteen, I lacked a basic education and the social skills to protect myself from exploitation. College felt like an impossible world—but the heaviest burden wasn't the schoolwork; it was the trauma. Through Holding Out HELP, I found the life-saving therapy I needed to heal. This month, I graduate with honors.

We have an amazing lawyer who we use to help our clients in unique situations. This case was no exception.
