Partner Highlight: Fort Worth ISD
School-based prevention and intervention programs are powerful tools in the fight against human trafficking. Data we analyze in Lighthouse reveals the indicators that are most prevalent for those who are screened as “clear concern” for exploitation. Among the top ten indicators of risk are youth who have highly irregular school attendance, including frequent or prolonged tardiness or absences. School counselors and other staff may be among the first who see these signs with vulnerable youth and can take action.
