SUMMARY:Collaborating to Keep Kids Safe Across Systems and Across the State: A Focus on Florida’s Schools
DESCRIPTION:“Collaborating to Keep Kids Safe Across Systems and Across the State: A Focus on Florida’s Schools“\nhttps://youtu.be/IwLmjNjbkyE\n\n\n\n\nSchools are vital to an effective community response to human trafficking. The Florida Department of Education (FDOE) has been a leader in informing educators and all Floridians about human trafficking. Recent FDOE rules require each school to develop a plan on child trafficking prevention and education. Moreover\, effective and safe school response plans include collaborations with many sectors and systems: child welfare professionals\, school district leadership\, federal and local law enforcement\, mental health\, victim services providers\, culturally specific organizations\, and other appropriate community partners – all important to the development and implementation of each school’s response and to student safety and well-being. \n\n\n\nThis certificate program and training with Valerie Ellery with the Florida Department of Education (read more about her below) will address new Florida Department of Education rules regarding human trafficking education\, including how schools are impacted\, and will help to identify actionable next steps for anyone who works with children and youth: teachers\, administrators\, support staff\, parents\, child welfare professionals\, human services\, law enforcement\, justice system personnel\, and all Floridians. Understanding your role – as both a professional who works with children or as an individual – in the prevention and eradication of human trafficking is the ultimate goal of this training. \n\n\n\nSponsors: STAC in affiliation with Big Bend Coalition Against Human Trafficking and the International Rescue Committee. \n\n\n\nContact: STAC at stac@surviveandthriveadvocacy.org or 850-597-2080 \n\n\n\nValerie Ellery is the guest speaker. She is the Human Trafficking Prevention Education Specialist and joined the Florida Department of Education’s Title IV\, Part A team in October 2019. Valerie has dedicated over 30 years to the field of education in various roles including as a National Board Certified teacher\, curriculum specialist\, international educational consultant and best-selling author. Her books and resources in the areas of literacy\, self-worth and human trafficking have been inspiring educators to motivate and engage today’s learners in classrooms and universities in 37 nations. She is currently focused on helping Florida schools by aligning child trafficking curriculum and resources to health education standards. Valerie is a devoted wife\, mother of four adult children\, and four grandchildren. She lives for creating healthy schools and families. \n  \n\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

SUMMARY:Webinar: Child Sex Trafficking And Social Media
DESCRIPTION:Danger! Understanding the Dynamics of Social Media Human Trafficking Recruitment \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1 to 3 p.m. Eastern/ Noon to 2 p.m. Central\, Friday\, April 17\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Big Bend Coalition Against Human Trafficking (BBCAHT)\, Survive and Thrive Advocacy Center (STAC) and Florida’s Department of Children and Families invite you to participate in April’s Third Friday Community Training Program remotely. This free webinar is one in a series that BBCAHT and STAC will be organizing during this time of social distancing to keep up our Third Friday training schedule.\n\n\n\n\n\nDESCRIPTION: Social media is increasingly being exploited to contact\, recruit\, and sell children for sex. Some traffickers use online ads to target victims\, or they will send friend/follow requests to young people in their region\, proceed to strike up a conversation\, and develop online friendships. These conversations may start off friendly and innocent\, but then the traffickers will begin to use manipulation to charm their potential victims. The online friendship quickly evolves to a romantic relationship\, and this is where the sextortion techniques are used to lure their victims into human trafficking.\n\n\n\n\n\nDURING THIS SESSION: Attendees will learn to recognize signs of social media recruitment and how traffickers lure their victims on the internet. Attendees will learn about the dangers of popular social media dating sites and apps. This session will also discuss popular emojis and their hidden meaning used to communicate sexual gesture when texting or communicating on internet sites and social media apps and will feature both presentation and the opportunity to ask questions and participate.\n\n\n\n\n\nPRESENTER: Marina Anderson\, DCF Regional Human Trafficking Coordinator Northeast/Northwest Regions. MODERATOR: Robin Hassler Thompson\, STAC Executive Director\, Co-Chair BBCAHT Social Services Committee.\n\n\n\n\n\nHOW TO JOIN: \n\n\n\n\n\nAUDIO will be provided through your computer. \n\n\n\n\n\nCLICK HERE to register with us for this meeting or copy and paste this link into your browser: https://tinyurl.com/uo64btm\n\n\n\n\n\nSUPPORT: If you have technical questions or concerns\, please contact Center Support staff at centersupport@usf.edu\n\n\n\n\n\n
