In whichever grade your child is in, it's important to recognize their right to an equitable and positive educational experience as a youth in or formerly in foster care. Join our partners from the Ventura County Office of Education to review the educational entitlements and resources available to youth in foster care. Participants will dive into the legal rights of a child such as the educational rights holder and right to a school of origin, and their available resources and how to access them!
Your Instructors: Laura Welbourn & Cristina Acosta from the Ventura County Office of Education (VCOE)

California has long been a hub for child trafficking, with children in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems at particularly high risk. This introductory training provides an overview of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) and Child Labor Trafficking —including how each is defined under law, where and how trafficking occurs, and the unique vulnerability factors that put youth at risk.
In this engaging lecture-format webinar we will:
1. Gain an understanding of the key components of Child Trafficking
2. Be able to identify signs of environmental risk factors and the stories behind them
3. Apply Trauma Informed techniques to prevent and address child trafficking
