Once thought to be only an international problem, the commercial sexual exploitation of youth in the United States is both rampant and growing.  All children are vulnerable, but our foster youth are particularly vulnerable, due to a multitude of factors.  Studies have estimated that between 50-80% of commercially sexually exploited children (CSEC) are or were formally involved with the child welfare system through child protective service investigations or placement in foster care.

LOVE 146, NOT A NUMBER is a trafficking and exploitation prevention curriculum that has components offered for both youth and Caregivers.  The Caregiver Training is designed to provide a basic understanding of Human Trafficking and Commercial Sexual Exploitation.  The goal of the training is to provide the information and education to empower you as caregivers of youth.  It is scary to think of our youth at risk for exploitation.  However, the more we increase our awareness and strengthen our communication with youth, the stronger our relationships, and the safer everyone will be.   Every youth is different and the ways in which they are vulnerable to exploitation may be different. This training will provide you with the education and conversation starters to support your youth.

The topics covered in the NOT A NUMBER, Caregiver Training include:  Examples of what child sex trafficking looks like, Cultural norms that promote sexual violence, Power of words and perceptions, Online exploitation, What makes children vulnerable to trafficking and What you can do to protect children from exploitation.
