From Vision to Impact: The Thrive Space in Action

Join Jamie Rosseland and Lisa Chaloux for an update on The Thrive Space, a survivor-created digital platform designed to support healing, connection, and empowerment. This session will revisit the vision behind the platform and highlight how it is used today, including its role in outreach efforts tied to major sporting events in Jacksonville. Together, we’ll share new materials, explore how The Thrive Space continues to grow as a resource hub and community connector, and why survivor-led innovation remains critical in anti-trafficking efforts. Whether you’re a survivor, advocate, or ally, this webinar will offer practical insight into leveraging survivor-informed tools for greater impact.

Who Should Attend:

This webinar is designed for everyone interested in learning more about human trafficking. In particular, service providers across sectors, including social workers, case managers, healthcare professionals, educators, and nonprofit staff, will learn about a practical tool to assist their client populations. It is also valuable for parents and caregivers seeking to better understand how to support individuals at risk or impacted. This session is relevant for law enforcement, first responders, outreach teams, faith leaders, community members, and people with lived experience. We welcome anyone who may encounter or support victims and survivors of trafficking and wants practical, survivor-informed tools to strengthen their response.
