MOTIVATING INSPIRING SUPPORTING AND

Training and prevention:the organization's training and workshops provide a broad overview of trafficking that includes a discussion of youth pathways and risk factors, prevention and how to support trafficked youth. Youth training and workshops are informed by the lived realities of the youth that the organization serves. All facilitators have developed trauma and healing informed and strengths-based approaches to engage and support youth participants. The organization also facilitates over a dozen school-site youth groups where youth receive support and strengthen skills related to resiliency and mutual support.

Other programs:in addition to direct services, misssey has also prioritized education and prevention efforts to combat the root causes of exploitation. We are thrilled to report that over 150 youth and adults have participated in training sessions aimed at deepening their understanding of commercial sexual exploitation of youth and other forms of sexual exploitation. These training sessions have equipped participants with knowledge and skills to identify risk factors, support survivors, and advocate for systemic change to prevent exploitation in our communities.
