Description
This session explores human trafficking involving unaccompanied immigrant children across the migration journey. It examines how changing policies, systems-related fear, and hesitancy to report affect children’s disclosure and engagement. Participants will gain practical, trauma-informed tools to build trust, strengthen rapport, and use adaptive cross-sector approaches to connect survivors and their families to services and supports.
