We just wrapped up Human Trafficking Prevention Month, and Love146 added several new resources we didn’t want you to miss. As you browse the links below, ask yourself: Who may need this?  ...Is it you? A friend? A young person you know? Shoot them a DM or text.
Caregiver Guide & Webinar
You'll find a PSA, a PDF Guide to download, and a one-hour webinar focused on recognizing red flags and helping youth find a safe adult. These resources will shed light on tactics traffickers use to groom and recruit children, and discuss steps adults and caregivers can take.
Youth Workers' Rights Guide
Share this resource with young workers you know! Everyone works or knows someone who works, but how many of us know our rights in the workplace? Where can you go or who can you talk to if something happens at your job?
Online Safety Guide
Traffickers often recruit and sell online. This is more true than ever since the pandemic has increased screen time. This web-based guide keeps it simple, and is designed specifically for you to be able to share directly with youth.
How to Spot Red Flags
The term “red flag” means you see something that’s a reason to stop and consider your safety. Seeing one or two red flags doesn’t necessarily mean that you're being trafficked, but it lets you know that you should probably step back, and maybe get support.
Boundaries Take Practice
Setting boundaries can help prevent harm and hurt - including being exploited or taken advantage of. Need some tips on boundaries yourself? Or would some of this content be helpful to send or talk through with a young person in your life?
Finding Your Safe Person
Having a safe person to call is something that comes up a lot in our work preventing trafficking. Additionally, in our Survivor Care Love146 shows up as a safe person to prevent re-exploitation. It's important to have a safe person BEFORE you need a safe person.
Common Myths
Child trafficking is NOT a myth. But sadly, it attracts sensational narratives. In today's world, myths about child trafficking go beyond generalizations and problematic stereotypes. When things you hear may be far fetched and straight up bogus, it's important to know the facts. This problem is too real for work addressing it to be discredited by myths.
Responding to Disclosures
As activists speaking about trafficking and human rights issues, it’s not uncommon for people to share how the issues connect to their personal experience of trauma. As non-professionals and volunteers, it’s important how we respond in these moments, especially as it may feel counter-intuitive. Here’s what to do – and what not to do.
Trauma-Informed Marketing?
Our language can deliver vicarious trauma to tens of thousands of people in a minute, or we could deliver vicarious hope. In keeping those impacted by our mission as the most centered stakeholders, it's going to lead us to use language that dignifies them.
Self-care for Advocates
It’s no surprise that one of the most common questions we at Love146 hear is: “How do you keep your head on straight while immersed in these horrific realities?” We asked the Love146 team how they cope and take care of themselves. Here are the top themes that came up.

Founded in 2002, Love146 journeys alongside children impacted by trafficking today and prevents the trafficking of children tomorrow. We connect the dots to understand how vulnerability operates in the lives of children, and intervene both to care for survivors who have been harmed and ultimately to prevent harm from happening in the first place. Our work is achieved through the power of relationships and collaboration, listening to those with lived experience and diverse backgrounds, scaling proven practices, and challenging the systems that leave children vulnerable. Our prevention and survivor care work has impacted more than 65,000 young people. Our core commitment is to do what is best for children.
