This is a Parent Resource Guide for the Department of War (DoW) Combating Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) Student Guide to Preventing Human Trafficking. Your teen will be able to access the course through a DoW link accessible from the CTIP website.
The CTIP Student Guide to Preventing Human Trafficking is designed to help your teen learn about human trafficking, to recognize the signs and indicators of human trafficking, and to respond appropriately. The course helps teens understand how human trafficking is occurring in student settings and particularly online where exploitation of children and teens is increasingly occurring today.
The purpose of the training is to strengthen your teen’s ability to recognize human trafficking and to encourage them to seek help from a trusted adult if they or their friends are being trafficked or suspect human trafficking. The training relies on the latest evidence-based information about how to reach teens and inform them. For example, it uses near-peer stories, survivor stories, and interactive quizzes to engage students. It also emphasizes the strengths and resilience that military-connected teens already have to help prevent human trafficking.
