SUMMARY:How Trafficking Presents in Intimate Partner Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Join the Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking in collaboration with Violence Free Colorado for a critical and action-oriented training on the intersections between human trafficking and interpersonal and domestic violence across Colorado. Survivors often experience overlapping forms of abuse\, including coercion\, isolation\, economic control\, and threats to safety\, which can make trafficking difficult to identify within traditional domestic violence frameworks. This session will help participants recognize how traffickers use many of the same tactics as abusive partners\, including manipulation of housing\, finances\, immigration status\, substance use\, and family relationships to maintain control. Grounded in Colorado based data\, real case examples\, and survivor informed insights\, this training will equip advocates\, service providers\, and community partners to more confidently identify red flags\, respond to complex safety concerns\, and support survivors whose experiences do not neatly fit into one category of harm. We will explore risk factors for both adults and youth\, considerations for marginalized and underserved communities\, and strategies to strengthen coordinated community responses. \nParticipants will leave with enhanced tools to screen for trafficking within domestic violence settings\, offer trauma responsive and culturally relevant support\, and collaborate with partners across systems to promote survivor safety and autonomy.

SUMMARY:Stalking Awareness Series : Stalking 2.0: The Use of Technology to Stalk

This session provides concrete strategies to help responders identify technologies being used to facilitate stalking\, safety plan with survivors\, and preserve evidence. \nObjectives \nBy the end of this presentation\, participants will be better able to: \n\nIdentify common technologies misused by perpetrators\nApply strategies to document stalking and preserve technological evidence\nConsider tools for enhancing victim safety
