About this Event
Commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) occurs any time a youth under the age of 18 years old exchanges a sex act or performance (whether by free will or coercion) for something of value. Youth in Tompkins County have been identified as having been trafficked or are at high-risk. Members of the medical community are in a unique position to listen for and respond to the signs of CSEC.
Join us for a FREE summit specifically designed for those working in the medical field to enhance their understanding of human trafficking, best practices for protocol development to provide an effective trauma informed response to survivors, and interact with other community resources.
We are proud to feature speakers affiliated with HEAL Trafficking, a national network of multi-disciplinary professionals dedicated to ending human trafficking and supporting survivors, utilizing a public health approach.
