Description
of the workshop: An interactive comprehensive training
conducted for professionals who service individuals at high-risk of recruitment
or currently involved in commercial sexual exploitation. Participants will gain insight and knowledge
in the dynamics of commercial exploitation, its effects, the signs and
symptoms, exploiter profiles, victims’ observed strategies for survival and why
it is so difficult for these individuals to make the necessary life-altering changes

promote long-term recovery that can be applied immediately to the individuals
they service.
