NHTTAC uses a survivor-informed approach to enhance Å·²©ÓéÀÖ public health response to human trafficking.

Challenge

The Administration for Children and Families' , which had no centralized training and technical assistance (TTA) offering, was looking to prevent trafficking and support victims through:

  • A shift from a more reactive criminal justice framework to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ application of a proactive public health framework.
  • An assessment of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ prevailing landscape to inform and advance Å·²©ÓéÀÖ future state of victims support and prevention.
  • The delivery of results-based, innovative and adaptive, stakeholder informed training and technical assistance.
  • Comprehensive multi-sector capacity building.

Solution

Our team built and launched Å·²©ÓéÀÖ first-of-its-kind to build capacity of community partners, agencies, and professionals.

As part of that work, our team embedded user-centric innovation into support strategies and solutions. This helps OTIP address identification and prevention—as well as drive change through survivor-informed leadership—at both Å·²©ÓéÀÖ community and federal response levels.

Results

Over Å·²©ÓéÀÖ last five years, we’ve taken OTIP from no centralized TTA to coordinated multi-pronged (e.g., training courses, technical assistance, leadership academy), multi-level (e.g., community, organization, national) and multi-directed (providers, health systems, behavioral health systems, grantees, survivors) TTA organized through Å·²©ÓéÀÖ public health framework and built upon a core set of anti-trafficking principles.

In support of advancing Å·²©ÓéÀÖ national dialogue on survivor informed anti-trafficking efforts, NHTTAC offers training through Å·²©ÓéÀÖ , which has now graduated seven cohorts. One participant said of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ course: “It was very rewarding. I’m hands down a better professional for completing HTLA.” We also created Å·²©ÓéÀÖ , a collection of new and existing resources that builds organizational capacity to collaborate with and support staff, volunteers, and consultants who identify as survivor leaders.

We designed NHTTAC to provide an adaptive response at Å·²©ÓéÀÖ crossroads of vulnerable populations, public health crises, and underserved communities. In particular, NHTTAC provides resources about Å·²©ÓéÀÖ intersection of as well as resources for responding to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ .

NHTTAC layers technical assistance to meet Å·²©ÓéÀÖ demands across healthcare, behavioral health, social services, and public health sectors. It supports accredited, on-demand training, such as , as well as oÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr innovative training and capacity building programs.
