Resources to Support State-Based Approaches to Child and Youth Trafficking

The compiled resources below can support state agencies and Tribes looking to design or implement state-based approaches to child and youth trafficking. Resources include program logic models, policies and protocols, resource mapping materials, needs assessments, approaches to multidisciplinary teams or task forces, trainings, screening or identification tools, principles of or approaches to survivor engagement, and approaches to using an equity lens, among many others.

 

Content is organized according to the target group or agency that you are hoping to work with to improve identification and response to child and youth victims of trafficking. Within each section, content is further separated by materials that is foundational (e.g., “Getting Started”) versus those that help further advance or amplify your work (e.g., “Advancing the Work”).

 

All descriptions and titles of resources are pulled from the compendium and have been previously reviewed and approved by OVC.
