Recognized as a leader in best practices for the treatment of victims of sexual abuse and human trafficking:
"Not only do Mrs. Bowley and Wellspring embody servant leadership, but they also put this leadership into tangible widespread action. As one of the original members of the state's task force on CSEC, Wellspring has collaborated with numerous agencies to provide services for victims and facilitated the formation of policies and protocols for residential services to all CSEC victims. Undoubtedly, her work has changed the lives of countless people—those she has met, and those she will never meet."

"I have discovered that Wellspring Living is truly dedicated to rehabilitating both young girls and adults alike. They have proven to have a formula that works. This type program is also necessary for the prosecution of men who exploit and sexual abuse our children. Since having my victims treated at Wellspring because of their ability to treat these young ladies the victim is willing to provide pertinent information that is utilized to bring conviction to the offender. Not only have I been able to solve cases for my victim's due to their placement at Wellspring but I have received information from other victims as well; therefore, solving cases in other jurisdictions."
