Human Trafficking Prevention Resource Guide for Caregivers
The purpose of this statewide resource guide is to provide available resources for individuals who are at risk of or are currently experiencing human trafficking. Those facing these experiences are often highly mobile and may find themselves in regions outside of their or their team’s resource knowledge. In addition to resources for youth and individuals, this guide includes supports for caregivers of trafficked/exploited youth, including resource parents.
*Notes: unless otherwise stated, resources mentioned will accept LGBTQ+ youth. Most Domestic Violence and Sexual Violence shelters will accommodate males in some capacity. Access the Youth Crisis Resource One Pager.
