The MECP and AMBER Alert Training and Technical Assistance Program invite you to participate in this month’s webinar entitled, “Serving Victims of Sexual Exploitation and Sex Trafficking- Part 2” with Leslie Briner, Commercial Sexual Exploitation Training and Policy Coordinator for YouthCare. Leslie also operates Notes from the Ground, a training and consulting practice in Seattle, focused on developing resources and capacity to respond to sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.
Ms. Briner will expand upon last month’s webinar to discuss intervention strategies for victims of sex trafficking. She will also examine how service providers can improve intervention efforts through relationship building, harm reduction and safety planning. Participants are encouraged to review Part I prior to participating in this month’s event.
Participants will:
* Identify the stages of change among victims who have been sexually exploited

The training is open to the first 200 people who sign-up; others will be put on a wait list in the event that spots open up. Please note that attendees will have to pay for parking and either bring a lunch or buy one near-by the training venue (there are a number of places to eat near the training site).
This all-day free training has a very full agenda and participants will be able to learn from key experts about the current response to human trafficking victims and available resources for these victims. Speakers will also discuss how we can best move forward in our efforts to prevent human trafficking and provide appropriate services.
