About this Event

Our distinguished speakers will discuss issues that make a person vulnerable to human trafficking, specifically, substance use disorders and justice-involved circumstances. If the intersections are clear, how can we successfully treat and care for incarcerated persons and those in recovery so they are able to move forward and away from repeated exploitation? How can we help highly vulnerable individuals break the cycle of violence so they can reclaim their lives, hopes and dreams?
