Jan’s story of being kidnapped and sexually abused has been chronicled in a nine-part limited series, A Friend of The Family, which she co-produced with Peacock. Her story has also been captured in the Netflix documentary, Abducted in Plain Sight and through her book, The Jan Broberg Story: The True Crime Story of a Young Girl Abducted and Brainwashed by a Family Friend, co-written with her mother Mary-Ann Broberg.
In 2019, Jan was honored with the Hope Award from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for her advocacy and outreach for children who are at risk of sexual abuse.
In January 2022, The Jan Broberg Foundation was launched, to highlight Jan’s mission to “Make the world a better place by working to eliminate sexual violence against children.” The Jan Broberg Foundation is committed to healing and hope for childhood sexual abuse survivors; making sure that all survivors are seen, heard, and believed. Through the foundation, we have an online peer-to-peer support group Thrivivors, where survivors come together and move from surviving to thriving.
The Jan Broberg Show, seeks to educate to prevent childhood sexual abuse by sharing stories of powerful survivors and trauma-informed professionals who understand the complexity of trauma and healing. At the Jan Broberg Foundation, we are fighting to change public policy and legislation so that survivors are protected and perpetrators are held accountable.
The mission statement of Jan Broberg Foundation states:
"Make the World a Better Place by Supporting
Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse”
We are honored and absolutely thrilled to be part of Soul Restoration Retreats with Jan Broberg and her incredible mission to bring healing, connection, and empowerment to survivors of sexual abuse. The work Jan has done through The Jan Broberg Foundation and her courageous advocacy has been truly inspiring, and we are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this life-changing retreat.

Milton began his journey in mental health after earning his Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2012. Working with some of the most acute mental health cases at Southwest Behavioral Health Center taught him that no diagnosis, no past experience, and no trauma defines a person. His therapeutic approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)—powerful methods for trauma recovery. He has also trained with The Amen Clinic in brain health and The Gottman Method in relationship wellness.
Rochelle shares this deep passion for trauma recovery. She, too, started her career at Southwest Behavioral Health, where she gained expertise in DBT, crisis intervention, and trauma therapy. Leading the Mobile Crisis Outreach Team strengthened her ability to help individuals in their darkest moments, giving them the tools and support they need to move forward. She is also trained in IFS and EMDR, using a combination of these approaches to help survivors heal in a way that feels safe, empowering, and lasting.
At Roots Counseling, our motto is Learn, Heal, Grow, Strengthen—a philosophy that aligns beautifully with the mission of Soul Restoration Retreats.
