Save the Date for Commercial Sexual Exploitation Identification Tool (CSE-IT) Training
If you’re looking to expand your support for youth at risk of being trafficked, join Texas CASA on December 5 from 9-12 p.m. for the CSE-IT screening tool training. This tool enhances users ability to identify children and youth who have experienced this form of abuse. The CSE-IT is an evidence-based tool, developed with the input of survivors and service providers, and has been validated with data from a 15-month pilot to ensure that it accurately identifies youth who have clear indicators of exploitation. In addition, CSE-IT is an opportunity for CASA volunteer supervisors and program staff to review policies after a child is identified as a trafficking victim, and to collaborate with DFPS as this tool is shared across the state.
