Happy New Year!
Each January, we celebrate National Human Trafficking Awareness & Prevention Month, a presidential designation to raise awareness, educate the public, and encourage action against human trafficking.
Join us for Human Trafficking 101 as we reiterate the importance of knowing the facts, statistics, and realities of human trafficking in our communities!

We are honored to have Dr. Carol Tanksley join us as a guest this month on the BeTheVoice podcast. Understanding sexual trauma is essential to effective recovery and rehabilitation because it recognizes the profound emotional, psychological, and physical impacts that such experiences can have on an individual. Trauma-informed care helps create a safe and supportive environment where survivors feel seen, validated, and empowered to heal at their own pace. By acknowledging how trauma affects trust, boundaries, and coping mechanisms, practitioners can tailor interventions that foster resilience, restore autonomy, and promote holistic recovery rather than retraumatization.

Join us this month as we speak with Max Patton, Youth Pastor at RockPointe Church in Leander, TX. Understanding the vulnerabilities of youth in human trafficking is essential to effective prevention and intervention. Young people are often targeted because of factors like low self-esteem, lack of support, poverty, or unstable home environments, making them more susceptible to manipulation and exploitation. By building genuine relationships, offering guidance, and empowering youth with knowledge and resources, we can help them recognize risks, develop resilience, and make safer choices. Creating a foundation of trust and empowerment not only aids in prevention but also fosters hope and long-term positive change in their lives.
