Abstract

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Safe Harbor Program promotes Love146’s Not a Number (NAN) human trafficking for youth. This collaboration reaches youth in a variety of settings through a multidirectional format that integrates issues familiar to young people while increasing their knowledge and skill for navigating situations where trafficking or exploitation is a risk or occurring. Safe Harbor prefers NAN’s curriculum because it is tailored to youth of all genders, is updated to reflect the lived experiences of youth, allows for cultural specificity, includes labor trafficking, and requires program fidelity. The partnership supports Minnesota’s public health, population-level strategies for preventing human trafficking and exploitation (sex and labor). NAN is also a means for responding to youth needs identified by the Minnesota Student Survey and other data to improve health, safety, and identification of protective factors.
