Child Sex Trafficking - Recover

CSTT is strengthening the capacity and expertise of juvenile justice, criminal justice, and child protection programs to support trauma-informed care for survivors through collaborative and coordinated responses. Key strategies include Care Coordination and Commercially Sexually Exploited Youth (CSEY) Advocacy programs.

CSTT further supports recovery by encouraging all programs to:

  • Register with the National Human Trafficking Hotline to help with timely recovery of victims and effective referrals;
  • Train and equip stakeholders to provide victim-centered, trauma-informed responses.
