The class will be led by “Sara,” a survivor advocate with Braking Traffik. She will discuss recruitment tactics traffickers use to control their victims; factors that make it challenging for victims to leave; how to identify human trafficking situations; and ways to support survivors and utilize resources that are available.

Braking Traffik and Family Resources provide services survivors need, including housing, counseling, medical and court advocacy, while collaborating with law enforcement and other community agencies.
