Navigating the Chaos: Trauma Treatment with Sex Trafficked Victims

This workshop is suitable for clinicians, administrators or anyone interested in expanding therapy services to survivors of sex trafficking. How are the approaches/assumptions in working with clients who have experienced trauma or even sexual abuse differ from best practice with clients experiencing sex trafficking? How might what is helpful in one situation act as a barrier in others? As we expanded and adapted our sexual assault treatment program to survivors of sex trafficking we quickly realized the large differences in the 2 populations, and their differing needs. How do we adapt program services to provide for both populations. Can you provide “trauma treatment” to youth that are actively engaged in the life? If not, what approaches are useful? Come explore the many questions and challenges clinicians may face as they attempt to expand services for victims of commercial sexual exploitation.

There’s no I in MDT

Multidisciplinary teams exist in a variety of different settings. The question is how well developed is the team and how effective does the team function?

Sex Trafficking in Tribal Communities

Anywhere in the world where you find poverty, you will find human trafficking. This includes our tribal and rural communities, and most often, an overlooked region.

Black Girlhood Interrupted: Physical and Sexual Violence in the Lives of African American Girls

A disproportionate number of African American girls are sexually victimized in form of child sexual abuse, rape, and sexual harassment, which increases their risk for commercial sexual exploitation of children. Consequently, Black girls often suffer mental and physical health problems; while at the same time they are remarkably resilient. Yet, service providers may perceive Black girls are less innocent and more sexually active than their White peers. As a result Black girls may be undeserved.

Victim Witness

The recent increased awareness of and efforts to prevent trafficking has resulted in an accompanying focus on prosecuting traffickers. These criminal cases are built on the testimony of victims. Testifying in an adult criminal prosecution can be incredibly traumatizing, particularly for a young person in the foster or juvenile justice system. In an effort to support these youth, individuals in Los Angeles County came together to build a protocol that dictates how a multi-disciplinary team, including Law Enforcement, District Attorney, Child Advocates, Child Welfare, Probation, Mental Health, and community-based partners, will work together to support a youth. The Protocol includes the development of a Victim Witness Support Team for every youth and covers each agency’s roles and responsibilities from case filing through post-testimony. In addition to reviewing components of the policy, the presenters will discuss case examples to illustrate the challenges and successes of the protocol.

Innovative, Multi-Disciplinary Approaches to Identifying and Supporting Victims of Human Trafficking

This workshop will review Los Angeles’ nationally recognized Law Enforcement First Responder Protocol for CSEC (FRP) that has been in place for nearly four years. The FRP spells out a collaborative, multi-disciplinary, 90-minute response when a commercially sexually exploited child is identified by law enforcement. The FRP has allowed Los Angeles County to drastically diminish the number of children arrested for prostitution and related offenses and instead has provided these children a non-punitive, victim-centered response. In addition to reviewing the components of the policy and data from the first three years of implementation, several cases will be discussed to illustrate the collaboration to meet the children’s needs, the benefits, and challenges of the FRP.

Timber! Strategies for Uprooting the Commercial Sexual Exploitation Industry

Sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) are driven by sex buying. If there were no buyers, there would be no business. And yet, even as the volume of sex buying across the country balloons, the harmful practice has traditionally been neglected in efforts to address sex trafficking. Val Richey will talk about a new approach in Washington dedicated to ending CSE by reducing sex buying in concert with improving victim services. The initiative, “Ending Exploitation Collaborative,” is a unique coalition of organizations including the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, social service agencies, advocacy organizations, and law enforcement. Audience members will learn how to develop a multi-disciplinary strategy for ending CSE that improves both victim services and accountability for exploiters. Val will also discuss some of the innovative tactics to reduce sex buying including high volume online deterrence, social media, community education, business engagement, media engagement, high school education, traditional law enforcement stings, and a ground-breaking 10-week sex buyer class.

This presentation will offer a brief overview of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and how it treats Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). I will give reasons for why not all, but perhaps some survivors of sex trafficking would benefit from DBT.

A sample of DBT skills will be reviewed to demonstrate how skills can be utilized by survivors as well as by supporters to enhance their positive impact. The presentation will conclude with a brief description of how DBT treats Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
