Project NO REST 2018 Conference

August 7, 2018-August 8, 2018 @
New Bern, NC, USA

Project NO REST 2018 Annual Conference: Awareness to Action: Proactively Confronting Human Trafficking in North Carolina Communities

Human trafficking is forcing, fooling or frightening others into performing labor or sex acts for profit—and it is happening in North Carolina. Project NO REST is a statewide effort to strengthen and expand the state’s infrastructure to address human trafficking and document how it affects children and young people.

Coordinated by the UNC School of Social Work, the goal is to shine a light into the shadow that is human trafficking, reduce the number of people trafficked, and improve the lives of those affected by trafficking. Collaboration among government agencies, community organizations and other stakeholders is vital to accomplishing these goals.
This second annual Project NO REST conference will provide information, resources and training to help individuals and communities move from Awareness to Action to confront human trafficking in towns and cities across the state—and do so in victim-centered, trauma-informed ways. Presenters include national experts as well as community groups from across the state.

OBJECTIVES
List key definitions and risk factors involved in human trafficking
Articulate the roles, challenges, and benefits of multi-disciplinary teams
Describe strategies for improved prevention, outreach, identification, and services for trafficking victims and survivors
Discuss the importance of trauma-informed, victim-centered, and culturally appropriate services for persons who have experienced human trafficking
List strategies to assess and strengthen community collaborations in response to human trafficking
