3rd Annual Human Trafficking Education Symposium (Virtual)
January 27, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 2:30 pm

This year’s symposium shares best practices and approaches from those who have worked in human trafficking for the past 15 years. Sessions are especially geared for those new to the field, perhaps encountering commercially exploited children, teens and young adults for the first time. Sessions will incorporate the latest knowledge in this evolving arena, making them relevant for experienced practitioners as well, particularly in child-serving organizations.
