NYC Administration for Children’s Services’ Office of Child Trafficking Prevention and Policy’s 2025 NYC Child Trafficking Prevention Conference
The 2025 Child Trafficking Prevention Conference (virtual) will provide eighteen (18) FREE, virtual workshops between January 9th and January 31, 2025 in recognition of National Human Trafficking Month.
The workshops will be provided by national and regional experts, all of whom currently work directly in trafficking awareness and prevention.
All workshops are FREE and will be provided virtually through Microsoft Teams.
After you register, you will receive an email with the workshop entry link. Save the email with the workshop entry link to enter the workshop on its scheduled day.
The workshops are OPEN TO EVERYONE! All child welfare and juvenile justice providers; private, faith-based and community-based agencies; States and Federal agencies; community members, survivors, social services and medical professionals; legal and criminal justice professionals, parents, foster parents and youth over 18. We welcome attendees from other states, Canada and anywhere in the world! We have found that the more diverse the attendees, the more informative is the Chat conversation and the Questions/Responses.
All workshops are scheduled for Eastern Standard Time (EST), so if you are in another time zone, please adjust for EST.
Please note that there are no CEUs or CLEs available for any of the workshops.
Please share this information widely. The information available may help increase safety or even save a life.
