Description:

You’re invited to join Youth Collaboratory and our partner, the Center for Court Innovation (CCI), on Wednesday, February 16, 2022 from 12:30 PM – 2 PM ET for this first part of a three-part learning series.

Many survivors of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) become entangled in the juvenile legal system on dependency and/or delinquency matters and do not receive adequate services to address their complex needs. Black girls are at a higher risk for exploitation, trafficking, and arrest and often find themselves in programs that do not meet their needs or leverage their strengths.

Juvenile legal players and community-based agencies are uniquely positioned to assist CSEC survivors and provide them with meaningful and restorative support and services.

This panel will feature subject matter experts from California, Miami, and New York and offer practical strategies and resources to help community-based providers and juvenile legal stakeholders improve outcomes for CSEC survivors.
