SUMMARY:How to Talk with Youth about Human Trafficking & Exploitation
DESCRIPTION:Today’s educators are in a unique position to reach youth who may be vulnerable to exploitation and human trafficking. They see youth every day in their schools\, learn about their lives\, and can be safe spaces for students who need help. Youth survivors of trafficking and exploitation have specialized needs and experiences\, and the adults who work with them need to be trauma-informed and tuned-in to recognize when something is wrong in students’ lives and how to talk with them about it. \nThis webinar will highlight best practices and resources for K-12 educators on just that: how to talk with youth about human trafficking and exploitation. We will have brief presentations featuring specifically designed resources including graphic novels for youth from the Office for Victims of Crime\, and a guide for youth practitioners from the Blue Campaign. We will also have a panel discussion with two educators working with youth in high schools in Chicago and rural Missouri as well as two youth speakers who are actively involved in using the arts in anti-trafficking outreach efforts. The webinar will conclude with an audience Q&A. \n Register Now

SUMMARY:Unveiling Modern Trends in Human Trafficking: From Social Media Grooming to Exploiting Vulnerabilities
DESCRIPTION:The Florida Department of Children and Families has seen a massive surge in the number of cases involving youth and adults being threatened and coerced into sending explicit images online or via social media apps. Evolving trends show that human traffickers are adapting to new technologies and tactics. One trend is using social media for grooming and recruiting victims\, making it crucial to educate everyone about online safety.  \nDownload slide presentation \nAnother concerning trend is traffickers exploiting  vulnerabilities such as substance abuse\, mental health issues\, and economic hardships to coerce individuals into trafficking situations. Traffickers often use substance addiction to exploit individuals into labor and sex trafficking. It’s essential to address these trends through prevention\, awareness and support for victims and vulnerable populations. \nMarina Anderson \nDuring this webinar\, attendees will learn about the latest tactics and methods used by traffickers\, including how they leverage social media\, exploit vulnerabilities such as substance abuse and mental health issues and use new technologies for victim recruitment and control. You will also gain insights into prevention strategies\, victim and survivor support\, legal frameworks\, and the role of social services\, law enforcement and advocacy groups in ending human trafficking.\n\nSpeakers:  \n\nMarina Anderson\, Northeast Regional Human Trafficking Coordinator\, FL Dept of Children and Families\nVictoria Maines\, Northwest Regional Human Trafficking Coordinator\, FL Dept of Children and Families\n\nWe are pleased to welcome guest speakers Marina Anderson and Victoria Maines\, Regional Human Trafficking Prevention Coordinators from the Florida Department of Children and Families.\n\n\nMarina Anderson joined the DCF Office of Child Welfare Human Trafficking Team in 2015\, but she began her career with DCF in 2002.
