This introductory training is designed to equips professionals working with youth and families, particularly those involved in the child welfare and probation systems, with critical knowledge and practical tools to prevent human trafficking. Participants will explore the definition and scope of human trafficking, including California-specific trends, and understand its profound impact on youth, families, and communities. The training delves into how historical trauma, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and environmental factors increase vulnerability, particularly among system-involved youth and families. Using trauma-informed and culturally responsive approaches, participants will learn to identify red flags, strengthen protective factors, and implement prevention strategies at individual, family, and community levels. The material will be delivered by PowerPoint presentation, short video clips, group discussion, breakout (small group) discussions and participant workbook (handout).

· Participants will be able to define human trafficking and differentiate between labor trafficking and sex trafficking, including specific California laws addressing trafficking.

· Participants will identify at least five key risk factors that increase vulnerability to trafficking, including historical trauma, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and environmental contributors.

· Participants will demonstrate an understanding of at least three practical prevention techniques they can implement in their professional roles.
