Youth Prevention

Teens and adolescents develop the skills to safely navigate potential and existing exploitative situations while learning how to access community resources.

Why?

55% of domestic minor victims of sex trafficking aged 7-11 years old are recruited through social media apps and websites*

*Thorn January 2018 Survivor Insights Survey

Direct Services

Sometimes what we need is a support system to catch us when we’re falling. Our trauma-informed program, Real Talk provides an outlet for at-risk individuals and survivors to process their exploitation. Conducted in county jails, schools, juvenile detention centers and human trafficking safe homes, our supportive services build an individual’s strengths to promote emotional resiliency.

Why?

Those with a history of past trauma, abuse and trafficking are at a high risk for human trafficking (re)victimization.

Outreach

Hitting the streets to engage with the homeless population and immigrant community, outreach connects potential and current victims of trafficking with the resources to break free.

Why? 

Labor and sex trafficking victims are often overlooked within homeless and immigrant communities. Their vulnerabilities place them at an extremely high risk to abuse and coercion.

Coalition

Made up of over 50 members, we are uniting the local anti-trafficking movement. We envision a collective end to human trafficking in Houston and Lake Charles.

Why?

After facing trauma and exploitation, survivors deserve the best care that can be offered. By uniting a diverse group of social service agencies, faith communities, business and other organizations, UAHT Coalitions are creating a systemic solution of care and community resources.
