SUMMARY:Human Trafficking Webinar Series - Centering the Experience of Boys\, Young Men\, and Male Identifying Students in Human Trafficking
DESCRIPTION:Click here to Register!\nSince 2020\, the U.S. Department of Education has conducted a webinar series to address child and youth trafficking in America’s schools. The series draws attention to the important efforts underway in our nation’s education community to address both sex and labor trafficking. \nOn behalf of the U.S. Department of Education\, Office of Elementary and Secondary Education’s Office of Safe and Supportive Schools\, the National Center on Safe Supportive Learning Environments (NCSSLE) invites you to join the next webinar in this series\, Centering the Experience of Boys\, Young Men\, and Male Identifying Students in Human Trafficking. \nWednesday\, September 13\, 2023\n3:00 – 4:30 pm EDT \nBoys\, young men\, and male identifying youth are often overlooked when it comes to recognizing and preventing human trafficking. In this webinar\, we will explore how and why that is\, and how methods of supporting males can differ from females. Researchers will present data dispelling the myth that exploitation of children is a problem that only affects cisgender girls and young women\, as well as data showing that boys and male identifying youth are\, in fact\, frequently exploited and trafficked. The webinar will also include a panel discussion to better understand the experiences of male and male identifying youth who have experienced human trafficking\, featuring experts with lived experience and educators working directly with youth in school anti-trafficking programs. We will end the webinar with a live Q&A where we will respond to your questions related to centering and supporting these youth in anti-trafficking work. \nSpeakers/Panelists\n\nJose Lewis Alfaro\, Lived Experience Expert & Consultant\nJerome Elam\, President and CEO Trafficking in America Task Force\, Survivor Leader\, FL\nJodi de la Peña\, Grant Manager\, Human Trafficking Prevention\, Oakland Unified School District\, CA\nJose (Peps) Garcia\, Newcomer Safety Initiative\, Program Manager\, Oakland Unified School District\, CA\nCaroline Greig\, Anti-Trafficking Initiatives Program Director\, WestCoast Children’s Clinic\, CA\nDavid Perry\, Health Data Research Analyst\, WestCoast Children’s Clinic\, CA\n\n Click here to Register!

SUMMARY:Florida’s Expungement Laws: Helping Survivors of Human Trafficking
DESCRIPTION:Download the presentation slides \nWhen a youth or an adult victim/survivor of human trafficking is arrested – whether or not they are prosecuted – they can suffer lifelong personal and practical impacts. Trauma associated with an arrest can haunt them throughout their life. A criminal record can hurt their ability to be economically secure\, to get a job or education\, and to rebuild their lives and heal. Because these crimes happened while they were being trafficked\, Florida law provides a way to help and clear\, or “expunge\,” their criminal histories.  \nThis month’s program will explain the law on expungement\, describe the process for clearing a survivor’s criminal history\, detail the effects of expungement on a survivor’s life\, and dispel myths and misconceptions regarding expungement. If you are a professional or community member who is in actual or potential contact with sex and labor trafficking survivors or anyone who might be vulnerable\, you need to know about expungement. \nApproved by the Florida Bar for 2 CLE credit hours (Download FLBAR Approval) \nSpeaker: \nBrent Woody\nLead Attorney/Executive Director\, Justice Restoration Center \nThis free certificate webinar is one of the “Third Friday” community training events hosted by BBCAHT and STAC to inform and engage the North Florida community and beyond. We are happy to extend this invitation to friends and colleagues – please join us! \n  \nDo you have any access needs or accommodation requests that you would like STAC to know about? Contact our team at stac@surviveandthriveadvocacy.org or call 850-597-2080. \n  \n\n  \nSTAC needs your support to sustain these important webinars. Will you donate today? Each gift helps to bring this vital information to the many people who are empowering survivors and preventing human trafficking. The only way we can maintain these programs and this work is with YOUR help.\nSuggested donation: $20
