About the Course

This training is for multi-disciplinary partners and service providers responding to sex trafficking cases. The training begins by exploring the reasons and conditions under which youth run away. This sets the stage for learning a process of assessment and intervention in running away behaviors with the goal of supporting youth and placement stability and decreasing running away behavior over time. The training concludes with a practice exercise to support integration of new knowledge and skills.

Learning Objectives:
- Explore running away behaviors as a set of responses to conditions in the home/placement or broader environment
- Learn the Push/Pull Factors model and steps for responding to running away behavior
- Integrate and apply the model to current practice and/or practice scenarios
