Across political beliefs, people agree that children do best when they are in families. At Love146, our U.S. Survivor Care Program supports children who are confirmed or suspected victims of trafficking, providing trauma-informed care that helps them heal and rebuild safety in their lives. We recognize that children live within the context of their families, and that to respond effectively to child trafficking, intervention must also support their families, so that they can remain together safely whenever possible.
Children Experiencing Trafficking Are Often Still at Home
Many people are surprised to learn that most youth are living with their parents or relatives (kin) when they are referred to our U.S. Survivor Care Program. When we meet with these youth, their parents are often carrying deep fear, confusion, and guilt alongside their child’s trauma. That’s why our approach doesn’t stop at caring for youth — it extends to supporting their caregivers as they rebuild safety and stability together. We work with parents and caregivers to help them understand what their child has experienced and what recovery can look like.
