Training Summary:
In a world where identity can be a risk factor, LGBTQ+ youth face disproportionate vulnerabilities to human trafficking due to systemic discrimination, family rejection, housing insecurity, and limited access to affirming services. This powerful and interactive training explores the intersection of gender identity, sexual orientation, and exploitation, equipping advocates, service providers, and community leaders with the tools to respond with empathy, equity, and impact.
Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the unique trafficking risks faced by LGBTQ+ youth, learn inclusive best practices for intervention and prevention, and explore how solidarity—not just support—can transform outcomes. Through survivor-informed insights, case-based scenarios, and strength-centered strategies, this training challenges attendees to reimagine what safety, justice, and healing can look like when LGBTQ+ youth are centered, affirmed, and empowered.
Whether you’re on the frontlines of advocacy or seeking to build a more inclusive response network, this session will inspire you to act with intention, ally with compassion, and lead with resilience.
Beneath the Surface: A Mental Health Lens on Human Trafficking offers a focused look at the intersection of trafficking and mental health, equipping professionals with the knowledge and tools to respond with sensitivity and care. Participants will explore key risk factors, recognize common warning signs, deepen their understanding of trauma, and gain practical strategies for supporting survivors throughout their healing journey. The session will conclude with a 15-minute expert panel Q&A, providing space for deeper discussion and application.
