Orleans County DSS hosting human trafficking prevention event today
Press Release, Orleans County DSS
RIDGEWAY – The Safe Harbour program run by the Orleans County Department of Social Services is hosting a Human Trafficking Prevention event this evening from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
The event will be held at the Ridgeway Volunteer Fire Company, located at 11392 Ridge Rd. in Medina. Anyone 13 years of age and older is welcome to attend and the event is free.
The event will be focused on what families need to know when it comes to human trafficking. Training will be provided by Survivor-Led Solutions, an organization staffed by survivors of trafficking who use their own life experiences to help people identify the red flags for trafficking and how to respond.
The Safe Harbour program is designed to be a safe place for teens. In addition to providing education and awareness, Safe Harbour provides lessons in life skills to promote a strong foundation to help children launch into their future.
