Of possible interest to CWS professionals and community partners: A two-day "CSEC 102: Engagement Skills for Working with Commercially Sexually Exploited Children and Transitional Age Youth" training will be held on May 17 and 18, 2017 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Buellton Marriott, led by a survivor and clinician training pair.
Utilizing the unique perspective of a victim of sex trafficking as well as the clinical perspective, the training provides an overview of trauma, an overview of the stages of change model, information about AWOLing and peer recruitment, and strategies for prevention and intervention.
The course is a follow up to the CSEC 101 course (available online) and is geared towards probation officers, social workers, clinicians, advocates, medical professionals, school personnel, and other professionals that serve youth, especially vulnerable youth populations.
