Description
Since 2020, the U.S. Department of Education has conducted a webinar series to address the growing response of America’s schools to child trafficking. The series draws attention to the important efforts underway in our nation’s education community to address both sex and labor trafficking.
On behalf of the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education’s Office of Safe and Supportive Schools and in recognition of National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, the National Center on Safe Supportive Learning Environments (NCSSLE) invites you to join the second of a two-part miniseries focused on the roles of families in human trafficking, including participation, prevention, and intervention, Engaging Families in Preventing and Addressing Human Trafficking.
Wednesday, January 25, 2023
3:00 – 4:30 pm EDT
During this webinar, our subject matter experts will offer a variety of approaches for school personnel to work with families to build protective factors in their children to lessen the risk of victimization and approaches to support students who have been trafficked.
