Target Audience: DYCD-funded Program Staff working in youth development programs

 

Workshop Description:

 

Approximately 30% of high school students who are dating have experienced sexual and/or physical dating violence in their relationships within the past year. Unfortunately, despite these staggeringly high numbers, less than 3% of young people seek help from adults like teachers, counselors or law enforcement. 

This 2-hour workshop will focus on the influence of youth’s developmental stage and limited relationship experience on the high incidence of dating abuse and sex trafficking among youth. The presenter will provide tips and insights into working more effectively with young survivors.  

 

We will specifically discuss the intersection of dating abuse and the domestic sex trafficking of young people with a focus on:

• identifying how dating abuse can lead to experiences of trafficking,


• increasing empathy around survivors of trafficking


• defining sex trafficking


• understanding the process of grooming someone into the life of trafficking


• the overlap between dating abuse and domestic sex trafficking 

 

This workshop will better equip you to:

1. 
   

   Consider the factors that influence the high incidence of dating abuse among youth.

   
   


2. 
   

   Confront implicit biases that arise when working with youth.

   
   


3. 
   

   Define dating abuse and focus on youth-specific forms of abuse.

   
   


4. 
   

   Identify risk factors for experiencing dating abuse.

   
   


5. 
   

   Identify next steps for preventing and addressing dating abuse among youth.
