2025 Advisory Committees
Service Provider Partnership Task Force
The Council established the Service Provider Partnership Task Force to strengthen the overall response to service provision for all victims and survivors of human trafficking. In order to strengthen the response, this requires building relationships between human trafficking specific programs and direct service providers that don’t have a specific human trafficking focus. This includes creating guidance around referrals as well as increasing direct care providers' knowledge and confidence around serving this population.
Prevention of Human Trafficking Task Force
Building off the Education Task Force’s work in 2023, the Prevention of Human Trafficking Task Force (PHTTF) will focus on creating and delivering a pitch for scheduling opportunities to deliver human trafficking presentations to community members and education personnel who engage with youth in places such as community meetings, neighborhood association meetings, after school programs, church youth groups, libraries and professional development conferences for educators. The Task Force will incorporate harm reduction into the presentation and ensure a concrete schedule for the fall of 2025 school year is in place.
Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) Working Group
The Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) Working Group is a multi-year working group that was established to support the work of the Connecting Colorado project, which is funded through OVC’s Improving Outcomes for Child and Youth Victims of Human Trafficking grant. The MDT Working Group will build upon existing promising practices, experience and expertise of MDTs into a statewide approach, distilled in a MDT Toolkit, that aims to increase identification of human trafficking of children and youth and connect them to culturally appropriate and trauma-responsive services.
