Advocacy for Commercially Sexually Exploited Children (CSEC)

Welcome to the Advocacy for Commercially Sexually Exploited Children (CSEC) Course. This course was created to equip you to identify victims of trafficking, understand the unique needs of exploited children and youth, and provide them with the highest level of advocacy. Thank you for your commitment to serving young people. These difficult topics can be very challenging to process, particularly for those who may be reminded of painful personal experiences. Please be mindful of your own wellbeing as you work through this course, take breaks, practice self-care and seek support as you learn.

The Companion Guide workbook is currently unavailable.

*This course was updated in April 2025 to comply with Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s Executive Order GA55.
