CLICK HERE to learn about a model curriculum that includes wrap-around services for identified youth: Virginia's first inter-disciplinary, public school curriculum on Teen Trafficking Prevention Education. Taught by the school system's mental health staff, and developed from the ground up by Prince William County Public School educators & community stakeholders, this critically-acclaimed, evidenced-based, victim-centered, trauma-informed 90-minute interactive classroom lesson, has proven to be effective in empowering students with the knowledge & life skills to avoid exploitation in the first place. Last year alone, 115 students came forward. Of those students, 50 were identified as having been sexually assaulted, groomed, or victims of trafficking. Prince William County just received their second grant to continue their 9th grade program and expand the lesson into the 8th grade. Entering its 4th year, this program has been receiving national attention and many schools are considering replication.
