Description
Intervene: Identifying and Responding to America’s Prostituted Youth is a unique resource designed to improve identification and response to victims of sex trafficking. Created by professionals, vetted by a multi-disciplinary committee of experts and survivors, the Practitioner Guide provides instruction on the vulnerability factors of potential victims, common recruitment and grooming tactics, methods of control and coercion used by pimps and gangs, and the impact of trauma on survivors.
It prepares the user to implement the accompanying Intake Tool, a tiered set of strength-based and trauma-informed questions designed to identify exploited youth while reducing the risk of retraumatization. This package includes two training videos (Intervene and Gang TRAP) that expand on key principles addressed in the Practitioner Guide.
Package Includes:
- Intervene Practitioner Guide and Intake Tool
- Intervene Training Video (Run time approximately 40 minutes; including four 10-minute segments)
- Gang TRAP Training Video (Run time approximately 60 minutes; including four 15-minute segments)
Intended Audience:
Service providers and clinicians, also applicable to juvenile justice employees. This resource is meant to be used by experienced professionals only.

For the past few years, I have made presentations to a couple of nursing school classes about DMST and how they can help as professional nurses. Just two weeks ago I used the SH material for the first time and it was a great success. The students loved the film clips and the iCARE material was very pertinent. The chapter, “Guiding Principles for the Health Care Provider” gives a new or experienced clinician a great framework for making a plan to manage DMST victims. The material presented in this concise publication should be taught in every nursing school.
