ACTION COALITION ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING ALBERTA ASSOCIATION

Published purpose

The organization will increase access to justice for underserved populations that have experienced human trafficking by expanding their victim services program into rural and Indigenous regions of Alberta. The expanded program will foster the establishment of referral networks and increase the capacity of the victim services team to provide trauma-informed services and supports designed to enhance and promote the physical, psychological and social well-being of victims and survivors in rural and Indigenous regions. Services and supports will include personal safety planning, trauma-informed counselling, basic needs, traditional healing practices, cultural networks and safe connections to the most appropriate Indigenous services that are pertinent to the survivor.
