In this 2- part series, we will: Clarify the relationships between intimate partner abuse, mental health, and substance use, including coercion related to mental health and substance use Apply equity-based and trauma-informed lenses to better understand mental health and substance use as threat responses Try out different tools to support reflective practice Work together to identify strategies to build emotional safety into the program environment, services, and relationships *We can not guarantee accessibility requests made less then two weeks before the event

A Course of Exploitation: The Intersection of Stalking and Sex TraffickingTopic: A Course of Exploitation: The Intersection of Stalking and Sex Trafficking
Hosted By: AEquitas
Date/Time: Wednesday, December 21, 2022 at 5:00am ChST
Description: When offenders engage in a course of conduct that includes sexual exploitation, they perpetrate dangerous and often misidentified and misunderstood crimes, including stalking and sex trafficking. Stalking behaviors are used to force or coerce individuals to engage in commercial sexual activities or to intimidate and prevent them from engaging with the criminal justice system. Presenters will explore the dynamics of stalking and sex trafficking. They will focus on the importance of understanding the context in which both crimes occur and the common tactics used by perpetrators. This presentation will provide strategies to improve the identification of these “course of conduct” crimes, increase offender accountability through successful investigations and prosecutions, and minimize further harm to victims and survivors by ensuring they are connected with meaningful services and tools to plan for their safety. This project was supported by Grant No. 15JOVW-21-GK-02220-MUMU awarded by the Office on Violence Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice. The opinions, findings, conclusions, and recommendations expressed in this publication/program/exhibition are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women..
