Every year, 18,000 - 20,000 victims are trafficked into the United States, and more than half are children, according to the Women’s Center-Youth & Family Services. And it can happen anywhere. As a beauty professional, you are uniquely positioned to sense a client’s physical safety and well-being. If you’re trained in what to look for, YOU can make a difference. In this course, learn how to spot the signs, provide resources and reassure your clients that you care about their safety and well-being.
Thanks to your close and trusted relationships with clients, you can serve as their first line of support during difficult and dangerous situations.
