Equipped Parent Workshop Lunch & Learn
We're here to help you navigate protecting your children from exploitation.
Lunch is provided for FREE!
We know that the majority of trafficking starts online. We also know that 90% of victims knew their trafficker before being trafficked.
So, if our kids are being recruited and targeted online (social media, gaming platforms, etc) and by people who want a "relationship," we need to be equipped to have conversations and set boundaries around online usage, healthy vs unhealthy relationships, and more.
In this parent workshop, we will help you learn how to protect your kids from exploitation by taking very practical steps. We're here to help you, no matter your knowledge around this topic.
