The National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center hosted a 90-minute webinar that explored new tools and research for outreach, identification, response, and risk reduction strategies for foreign nationals and migrant workers, not only in the agricultural industry, but other industries that are also high-risk for trafficking. This webinar was moderated by Jenna Novak and included Gonzalo Martinez de Vedia (Buffett-McCain Institute Initiative to Combat Modern Slavery), Makini Chisolm-Straker (Mount Sinai Hospital), and Julissa Ponce (United States Committee for Refugees and Immigrants) as speakers on the topic.
    
At the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:

• Identify person-centered approaches to outreach among foreign nationals who have experienced labor trafficking in the agriculture industry.
• Explore new research and tools for identifying potential labor trafficking and risk reduction strategies.
• Discuss ways to collaborate with community agencies that serve migrant populations.

This document was developed by fellows of the Human Trafficking Leadership Academy Class 3 organized through the National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center and Coro Northern California. A team of allied professionals and survivor leaders worked together to respond to the following question: Using trauma-informed principles and survivor-informed practices, what strategies could reduce risk factors and increase protective factors within families that prevent the trafficking of minors?
