Hybrid HT-RADAR Quarterly Meeting: June 16, 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM (PST) – Strategic Partnership Model for Anti-trafficking Response


Our upcoming meeting will be hosted at our Balboa Avenue campus (at 9055 Balboa Ave, San Diego, CA 92123) and live-streamed for our Zoom audience. Lunch will be provided for our in-person attendees. If you have any questions, please email Luz Aramburo at luzaramburo@pointloma.edu

Dr. Kathleen Preble will present Assets and Logic: Proposing an Evidenced-based Strategic Partnership Model for Anti-trafficking Response– Since knowledge about human trafficking has increased over the last 20 years, so have our understandings of interventions, survivor empowerment, and attention to intersectional forces that lead to trafficking vulnerability and exiting barriers experienced by survivors. An area lacking in such advancement, however, relates to collaborative community responses (CCRs), which have notably increased evidenced-based, effective responses in other public health and health equity responses. CCRs have been part of US-based anti-trafficking efforts since the passage of the U.S. TVPA, but very little research has examined their effectiveness or how to standardize a unified collaborative effort in multidisciplinary antitrafficking teams around common goals. The proposed model utilizes health equity techniques to map existing community resources that could potentially respond to identified needs. Using logic models, the proposed process allows for interdisciplinary teams to systematically plan a response using the identified assets in their community to achieve a common ultimate goal and improve the response to human trafficking. Research, practice, and policy implications are discussed.

Recommendations for Child Welfare System Support from Youth Currently and Formerly in Foster Care – Office of the Administration for Children & Families

The Survey of Youth Transitioning from Foster Care (SYTFC) collected information from youth currently and formerly in foster care in two states who were at risk for human trafficking experiences based on their demographic characteristics, maltreatment allegations, and removal and placement history.
