Maryland State Highlight

The Maryland Improving Outcomes team is making strides to better understand the scope of child labor trafficking in the state. The Maryland School of Social Work Prevention of Adolescent Risk Initiative (PARI) team conducted a statewide environmental scan of child welfare and juvenile justice agencies to better understand the prevalence of child labor trafficking in the state. The evidence-based environmental scan will provide valuable information to support policy reform aimed at improving child labor trafficking identification and response strategies.
