Our Story

Global Care & Response (GCR) is a humanitarian, non-profit, and tax-exempt (501(c)(3) organization founded by Dr. Kyle Miller. GCR was established to provide trauma counseling services to individuals, families, couples, and survivors of sex trafficking in Texas and around the world. In 2008, Dr. Miller traveled to a village in South Darfur, Sudan to provide trauma recovery classes to Fur children and adult genocide survivors, and to provide trauma training for the humanitarian workers supporting them. In 2009, Dr. Miller traveled to Chisinau, Moldova to provide trauma training to the safehomes staff members who were providing direct care to minor and adult female survivors of sex trafficking in their home. This trip was the first one of five trips to Moldova that occurred over a five year span.

In response to these two life-changing trips, Dr. Miller decided to pursue a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology to further his education and discover how to provide the best possible care to survivors of severe trauma. He graduated in 2018 with a dissertation that focuses on how to provide effective trauma counseling to female survivors of sex trafficking.

GCR primarily offers local and virtual professional counseling services in the Austin, Texas area with an emphasis on trauma counseling for children, adolescents, and adults—regardless of people's ability to pay. GCR is also passionate about supporting and empowering sex trafficking survivors through their recovery, so all counseling services provided to sex trafficking survivors through GCR is offered pro bono. In addition, GCR offers specialized trauma-responsive and trauma-sensitive training workshops for workers and organizations that directly serve minor and adult female sex trafficking survivors. This training occurs live in Austin, virtual over online video platforms, and on global trips.

As a non-profit 501(c)(3), GCR accepts and utilizes all donations to provide no-cost counseling services to survivors of sex trafficking and to providing food, medication, clothing, and living expenses to trafficking survivors and GCR-partnered safehomes. While we cannot stop trafficking on a global level, we can choose to light a candle in the darkness and make a difference in the lives of each one of our survivor sisters who are bravely fighting for healing, wholeness, and recovery. By impacting the life of one, we can impact the lives of many.
