SUMMARY:IVAT How Does Trafficking Happen and How to Respond? Grooming\, Trauma Bonding\, and Trauma-Informed Care
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nThis training explains how individuals are recruited or groomed into trafficking situations\, and debunks common myths – including that trafficking involves kidnapping and forcible confinement. We will take a deep dive into the “Romeo” or “boyfriend” trafficking strategy. A framework involving 6 stages of grooming into trafficking is introduced\, which leads into a discussion of trauma-informed strategies for interacting with suspected or confirmed trafficking victims. The presentation introduces a number of myths related to human trafficking\, replacing them with facts\, with the final myth being that victims will self-disclose their exploitation. There are many reasons why victims do not self-disclose\, and we must be sensitive to these dynamics. At the end of the training\, participants will be able to identify stages of grooming\, differentiate strategies of trauma-informed care\, and explain trauma bonding. \nRegister through IVAT\n

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse Human Trafficking of Youth in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nAn estimated 50 million people worldwide are victims of human trafficking. In the United States alone\, approximately 400\,000 individuals are exploited through sex trafficking\, labor trafficking\, or domestic servitude. Traffickers earn an estimated $240 billion annually\, more than the combined revenue of major Fortune 500 companies such as Apple\, Amazon\, Disney\, General Motors\, and Ford. \nStatistics show that one in four trafficking victims is a child. Nearly 95% of teens between the ages of 13 and 17 have an online presence\, and half report being online constantly. Traffickers have adapted to this reality by using social media\, gaming platforms\, and messaging applications to groom and recruit youth. \nThis webinar examines how traffickers leverage modern technology to target children\, reviews commonly used online platforms\, and discusses the digital tools exploited to facilitate child trafficking. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse Supporting Caregivers of Kids in the Criminal Justice and Social Services System
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nCaregivers of youth involved in the criminal justice or child welfare systems often receive mandated services—like parenting groups—but those working on the front lines are rarely given the tools to evaluate whether these services are actually helpful or evidence-based. \nThis webinar focuses on the behavioral health needs of caregivers and how to support them effectively. (Did you know that one of the strongest predictors of whether a parent training program works is whether it includes direct\, hands-on practice with the caregiver?) \nUsing real-world examples—from the fact that grandparents are now the largest group of foster parents in North America\, to therapies like PCIT designed specifically for abusive or neglectful caregivers—this session offers practical strategies\, tools\, and insights for providers working with families across child welfare and juvenile justice systems. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n
