The Human Trafficking Advocacy Certification Program is a structured, competency-based training designed to prepare survivor  advocates, professionals and community partners to respond to human trafficking through ethical, trauma-informed, and systems-focused advocacy. This program goes beyond awareness, equipping participants with practical tools to influence policy, strengthen institutional and community responses, and support survivor-centered change at local and statewide levels. Grounded in best practices from anti-human trafficking, behavioral health, and trauma-informed care, participants learn to identify gaps, set strategic advocacy goals, engage decision-makers, and implement approaches that prioritize survivor safety, dignity, and consent.

Throughout the program, participants explore policy, systems, community, and case-level advocacy, while emphasizing collaboration, accountability, and sustainable change. By the end of the certification, participants will be able to:

• Apply trauma-informed and survivor-centered principles to advocacy efforts
• Distinguish between and appropriately use different advocacy approaches
• Design and implement a realistic local advocacy plan
• Contribute to coordinated, ethical, and effective anti-trafficking responses
• Support survivors in meaningful and impactful ways

About FACT, per the Department of Children and Families (DCF):

In an effort to promote independent, integrated living for individuals with severe and persistent psychiatric disorders, Florida Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) teams provide a 24-hour-a-day, seven-days-a week, multidisciplinary approach to deliver comprehensive care to people where they live, work or go to school, and spend their leisure time. The programmatic goals are to prevent recurrent hospitalization and incarceration and improve community involvement and overall quality of life for program participants. FACT teams assume responsibility for directly providing the majority of treatment, rehabilitation and support services to individuals. Emphasis is on recovery, choice, outreach, relationship-building, and individualization of services. Enhancement funds are available to assist with housing costs, medication costs, and other needs identified in the recovery planning process. The number of contacts and the frequency at which they are provided is set through collaboration rather than service limits. Statewide, there are 33 FACT teams staffed with a psychiatrist, licensed mental health professionals, nurses, a vocational specialist, a substance abuse specialist, peer specialists and case managers. Each team serves 100 individuals with an average caseload of 1:12.

Family Services Planning Team (FSPT) is a community-based, multi-disciplinary team of professionals whose goal is to identify social supports and plan services on behalf of the families in the communities we serve.

Using traditional approaches, FSPT aims to meet the mental health and social needs of children and families. FSPT seeks to establish care coordination, streamlining the process for families who require services from more than one agency, and to keep children in the community and prevent long-term residential treatment. 

We will be joined by representtives from Camelot Community and Children's Home Society. 

We hope you will join us to learn more about this exciting initiative.
