Over the years, we've had a few different entrances for children & families coming in for Forensic Interviews, but we've always had a red door. For years, red doors have symbolized safe places for travelers or those fleeing dangerous situations. As we conclude #NationalForensicInterviewWeek, we commend the remarkable courage of each child who has entered through our red doors. Additionally, we celebrate the dedication of our Forensic Interviewers, both past and present, who tirelessly foster safe environments for children in our community affected by abuse. ❤️

When it comes to child sexual or criminal exploitation a whole-family approach becomes even more critical, as unlike traditional child protection, professionals are unlikely to have contact with the perpetrator. Therefore, when working with children in the context of exploitation and extra-familial harm, it is essential to build strong relationships with all those directly or indirectly connected to the child. As illustrated below, these relationships may include the professionals working directly with the child, the child's peers, and, most importantly, the child's parents, caregivers and other family members.

🚨 Awareness Wednesday Alert Here's a shocking reality check: Did you know that children account for half of the victims of human trafficking? (Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia) It's a harrowing truth we can't afford to ignore. What's even more devastating is that the average age a young person gets trapped in this nightmare is just 12 years old. 💔 Let that sink in. Our children should be playing, learning, and dreaming—not falling prey to exploitation and abuse. This Awareness Wednesday, let's raise our voices, spread awareness, and take action to protect our most vulnerable. Together, we can make a difference and ensure every child has a future free from the horrors of trafficking. #EndHumanTrafficking #ProtectOurChildren #RaiseAwareness #BreakTheChains #JusticeForAll #FightForFreedom #HarbourHope #HarbourHopeInternational #AwarenessWednesday🌟

January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month! Follow along over the rest of this month as we share a resource each day, with a variety of content for caregivers, youth, and activists. Today's featured resource is - How to Spot Red Flags The term “red flag” means you see something that’s a reason to stop and consider your safety. Seeing one or two red flags doesn’t necessarily mean that you're being trafficked, but it lets you know that you should probably step back, and maybe get support.

#humantraffickingtactics #stophumantrafficking #awareness #education Lets talk about human trafficking tactics. Human trafficking takes on a chilling dimension when it infiltrates families, exploiting the very bonds meant to protect and nurture. This insidious tactic involves coercion, manipulation, grooming and control by close relatives, resulting in the exploitation of vulnerable individuals. We need to shed light on the heart breaking reality faced by countless victims. By understanding this method, we can better identify the signs, protect our loved ones, and take a stand against this heinous crime. Together, let's break the cycle of familial trafficking and build a future of safety and support.
