The Child Trafficking Solutions Project is a broad-based coalition implementing collaborative community-based solutions to prevent, recognize, and respond to child trafficking, including on-line predators, sex, and labor trafficking of minors. Improving outcomes for survivors of child trafficking and prosecuting perpetrators is achieved through uniform response protocols, training, and strategic partnerships with law enforcement, first-responders, health and mental health professionals, juvenile justice, child-welfare agencies, human trafficking organizations, and schools, while mobilizing communities to prevent abuse, raise awareness and increase safety.
Focus Areas:
- Comprehensive Training and Customized Resources for Varied Audiences: Offering CE credentialed training and resources tailored for Law Enforcement, Child Welfare, Social Services, Health/Mental Health, Educators, Hospitality, Parents/Students, and Concerned Citizens across all communities in Alabama.
- Establishment of Uniform Response Protocols and MDTs: Focused on recognizing and responding to human and all forms of child trafficking, involving collaboration across disciplines including law enforcement, child protective services, juvenile justice, health and mental health providers, child advocacy centers, and schools.
