SOS 7th Annual Child Abuse Summit:
Collaborative Efforts Can Save Our Children
Join us on April 22nd for a Summit dedicated to engaging all key stakeholders in our community on how to protect and serve children and youth who are in harm’s way. We will be discussing a range of issues – from the vulnerability that arises in a child’s life due to family breakdown, to how best to serve children and youth in our foster care system, to how to rescue and restore minors who have become victims of human trafficking in our state.
Ashleigh S. Chapman, JD will be with us during the entire day to guide our conversations and to lead us in collaborative brain-storming sessions around WHAT all must be done and WHO all must be engaged in order to best protect and serve vulnerable children and youth in our community.
How Collaborative Efforts Can Save Our Children
A collaborative session on understanding that the presence of human trafficking in a community is the darkest of consequences of leaving children and youth in such vulnerable places that they become commodities of traffickers, and how we as a community can combat human trafficking successfully or prevent it from happening in the first place.
A collaborative session on what the common journey is for the tens of thousands of children who age out of the foster care system in our nation each year, and the many ways we as a community could intersect that trajectory and change the outcome.
