New Mexico Resources for Engaging Adolescents and Children Holistically (REACH)

New Mexico Resources for Engaging Adolescents and Children Holistically (REACH) project sought to improve responses for child and youth victims of trafficking with a focus on coordination at the statewide level to identify service holes and create effective change across systems. The Attorney General’s Office, in partnership with the New Mexico Dream Center and Morrison Evaluation, engaged in resource mapping and training and protocol development in order to address the key barriers New Mexico providers experienced in identifying and assisting child and youth victims of sex and labor trafficking and investigating and prosecuting these trafficking cases. Through an extensive resource mapping process, the team created a resource app that provides a statewide directory of services and resources available to survivors of human trafficking in the State of New Mexico to be utilized by service providers and law enforcement throughout the state. To further equip service providers listed in the directory and others throughout the state, the team also created a training module series aimed at increasing capacity of services providers and law enforcement in their state to recognize and respond to children and youth who had been trafficked. This eight module training series focuses on: definitions and laws; understanding trafficking and vulnerabilities; trauma-informed responses to survivors; screening and referrals; vicarious trauma and self-care; sustainability for programs; collaboration among service providers and law enforcement; and incorporating survivor voice. Additionally, the REACH team plan to develop protocols to support the identification and responses to child and youth.
