ICT SOS Human Trafficking Awareness 101

Community Awareness Training

ICT SOS will provide an introductory look at human trafficking and exploitation, with a focus on recognizing how these issues can affect our local community.

Presented by ICT SOS, whose mission is to end human trafficking through prevention and awareness education; advocacy for survivors; and acting as a bridge between direct service professionals and community members who desire to help.

Participants will learn about common forms of trafficking, risk factors, and indicators that may suggest someone is experiencing exploitation. The training will also explore realistic scenarios that can occur in local communities, helping participants better understand how trafficking may present in everyday settings. The session will highlight local and national resources available to individuals who may need assistance and will emphasize safe, informed ways community members can respond. Participants will leave with greater awareness of the signs of exploitation, an understanding of available support systems, and practical ways they can contribute to prevention, awareness, and community efforts to combat human trafficking.
