Services That Keep Up Through Summer Break
When school is out, essential supports like meals, counseling, and consistent adult guidance pause for the season. We’ve seen that traffickers will try to exploit that gap. But right now, Love146’s Survivor Care team is showing up to help keep youth safe and connected to both a caring professional and the community supports they need all summer long.

New Connecticut Law Expands Support for Youth Impacted by Trafficking
An important bill informed by Love146 has officially passed both chambers and is now Connecticut law, becoming Public Act 25-139. The new law expands anti-discrimination protections for survivors, increases access to prevention training, strengthens the state’s anti-trafficking council, and creates an affirmative defense for youth charged with crimes tied to their own exploitation. This is a big win for a more just and trauma-informed response to child trafficking in Connecticut. Love146 and our supporters were part of making it happen!

Donor Spotlight: Jennifer from Colorado
“After doing some research and figuring out that Love146 is legit, I decided to contribute monthly. Their dedicated staff and well-run organization has a heart and I believe love really is at the center of that. Anything we can do to move in the right direction needs to be supported. I honestly can’t really dwell on the stories or details of work that’s done with survivors because it makes me so incredibly sad. So even though I can’t be hands-on, I will continue to monetarily support Love146.”
Founded in 2002, Love146 journeys alongside children impacted by trafficking today and prevents the trafficking of children tomorrow. Our prevention education and survivor care work has impacted more than 80,000 young people. Our work is achieved through the power of relationships and collaboration, listening to those with lived experience, scaling proven practices, and challenging the systems that leave children vulnerable. Our core commitment is to do what is best for children.
