Did you know that January is National Human Trafficking Awareness Month? Since trafficking and child exploitation can happen anywhere to anyone, it is important for education professionals to first understand the basics: knowing how to recognize the warning signs and understanding prevention and intervention strategies.
This webinar will share up-to-date information on:
- Warning signs of possible human trafficking or child exploitation
- A comprehensive approach to working with and educating youth
- Best practices for K-12 educators on how to report and respond to trafficking and exploitation concerns
We will begin with a presentation covering the latest data in the field and examples of prevention protocols. A robust panel discussion with several anti-human trafficking advocates, including youth and experts with lived experience, will follow. Panelists will discuss how to connect students and staff to human trafficking and child exploitation prevention work, understanding the nuances of labor trafficking, and appropriate prevention education communication strategies for younger students. The webinar will conclude with an audience Q&A.
