The Leon County Commission determined a need for all Tallahassee businesses to know how to identify human trafficking and how to take action to help survivors and hold traffickers accountable. This training is specifically tailored to the Leon County community – Leon County’s businesses have a unique and important role to stop, prevent and respond to human trafficking.
The goal of this free, on-demand training is to help the thousands of businesses in our area know what to look for so they can see the signs of human trafficking and take action.
This training will be useful to all workplaces: hotels, restaurants, the financial sector, retail outlets, offices, profit and non-profit sectors alike, and many more.
STACPRO is a Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center (STAC) training program funded by Leon County and the City of Tallahassee.
The Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center provides direct support to survivors and can assist with housing, counseling, employment and more.
We also provide training and education on how to recognize, report and prevent human trafficking. We’ve worked with healthcare and child welfare professionals, law enforcement, educators, faith communities, and not-for-profit organizations.
Social justice aims for the systematic fair treatment of all people. STAC believes that everyone deserves equitable social and economic rights, opportunities, and treatment. Traffickers target vulnerable victims with promises of an escape from harsh realities of their current conditions. In almost every instance, human trafficking victims are victims of institutional oppression and systematic racism, classism, sexism, ageism, ableism, and heterosexism before they are targeted by a trafficker. Human trafficking cannot be understood as an individual harm perpetrated by criminals; but instead must be understood within the structural conditions of society that facilitate exploitation.
A social justice perspective is crucial for our work to support survivors of human trafficking and to prevent people of being trafficked.
