Summary

Staff at The Baby Fold participated in a Lunch and Learn virtual training led by Allies Against Trafficking, strengthening their ability to recognize and respond to child sex trafficking among vulnerable youth.

On February 25, 2026, Allies Against Trafficking presented “From Risk to Response: Understanding Child Sex Trafficking in Vulnerable Youth” during a Lunch and Learn for The Baby Fold. The session brought together therapists, caseworkers, and educators committed to strengthening their understanding of risk factors, warning signs, and appropriate responses.

Participants engaged in discussion focused on identifying vulnerabilities and improving how they support youth who may be at risk. The training emphasized practical, real-world application within the roles these professionals serve every day.

By prioritizing this training, The Baby Fold staff took an important step in the fight against human trafficking. Their commitment to increasing awareness and strengthening response efforts directly enhances their ability to serve and protect the youth and families in their care.

Continued education and collaboration are essential in building safer communities and reducing vulnerability to exploitation. When professionals are equipped with knowledge and tools, they are better prepared to recognize risk and respond effectively.
