January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. While the statistics about our city and state as they relate to Human Trafficking seem grim, Pat’s Place has been working alongside our community partners to combat Human Trafficking and reverse the statistics in Charlotte-Mecklenburg. Just this past summer, we launched our Youth Empowerment + Support (YES!) Program, an intervention designed to prevent sexual exploitation and trafficking for at risk girls and teenagers. A YES! case manager and therapist provide intensive, wraparound support to increase protective factors, strengthen family relationships, and address concrete needs. To learn more about our efforts to combat human trafficking, visit our website patsplacecac.org.

Here's your friendly reminder to not let the hustle and bustle of the holidays distract you from having the body safety conversation with your children. 🎅 Talking about Body Safety is not a one-time conversation. Just as you would discuss other safety rules it’s just as important to discuss body safety regularly. 🎅 Help children identify 3 safe adults in their life. Children need a network of safe adults whom they can talk to if they are feeling uncomfortable, worried, or scared. 🎅 🎅 Educate children about private parts. Explain that private parts are those that are covered by their swimsuit, and it is not ok for someone to touch, look at, or take photos of their private parts. It is also not ok for someone to ask children to touch their private parts. 🎅 Teach children the correct anatomical names for all body parts. Teaching children the correct names for their body parts reduces confusion, embarrassment, and shame. 🎅 Teach children that they are the boss of their bodies. Every child has the right to tell anyone no and refuse unwanted or uncomfortable affection. A child should never be forced to hug, give affection, or sit on a lap. 🎅 Teach the difference between surprises and secrets. Let them know that surprises can be fun and make people happy, like giving a present to someone special. Secrets, on the other hand, can be hurtful. Children should know that adults do not ask children to keep secrets and the child should tell someone right away. 🎅 Teach kids that adults should not ask kids for help. People may trick a child by asking them to help find a lost pet, give directions, or help carry something. Children should not agree to do something for an adult without first speaking with a parent/caregiver. Visit https://lnkd.in/eP8HTQAi for more resources to help you have this conversation and similar conversations with your children.
