Description

This session will provide participants with an inside look at how Michigan is leveraging a federal award to strengthen collaboration and coordination to improve systemic responses to children and youth victims of labor and sex trafficking. Participants will learn how Michigan is addressing gaps and barriers in the state's evolving antitrafficking landscape, the essential role collaborative partnerships played in the project's success and how those partnerships enabled the completion of the first-of-its-kind survey developed to understand human trafficking from a service provider's perspective.
