SUMMARY:Economic Empowerment and Financial Management for Human Trafficking Survivors
DESCRIPTION:The Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center (STAC) Third Friday Training Webinar Series is dedicated to educating everyone about the critical issue of human trafficking. This interactive series aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the various facets of human trafficking\, from its root causes and methods of operation to the profound impact it has on survivors\, their families\, workplaces\, and society both in our home towns and worldwide. \nMany human trafficking survivors face significant financial exploitation\, leading to damaged credit\, mistrust in financial institutions\, and re-traumatization. Traffickers force them to open credit cards and other bank accounts in their names\, steal their identities\, force them to commit crimes\, and destroy their credit. This can make it hard for a survivor to find a good job\, a safe place to live\, and move forward in their life. This program will provide survivors and those who are working with them the knowledge and tools to regain financial stability and independence.  \nPresenters will discuss: \n\nRebuilding Credit: Utilize the Debt Bondage Repair Act to effectively block negative items that resulted from trafficking on the survivors’ credit reports to improve credit scores.\nAccess Vital Resources: Identify key resources and initiatives\, such as the Survivor Inclusion Initiative\, that support financial inclusion.\nFurther Discussion on Rebuilding and Maintaining credit: Understand the steps to build and maintain good credit and savings.\nBudget Effectively: Creating a budget and managing monthly expenses. \nUtilize Benefits: Take advantage of available benefits from employers or other programs.\n\nDownload the presentation file here \nPresenters: \nHollie Nadel \nHollie Nadel: Hollie Nadel is a positive\, creative\, compassionate individual with robust management and problem-solving skills.
