Not a Number Train the Trainer

Become a facilitator of the Not a Number prevention program on Sexual Exploitation and Human Trafficking for Vulnerable Populations

This is a must for organizations supporting the vulnerable populations of: children, youth, people withe disabilities, newcomers and immigrants. These populations are at greater risk of sexual exploitation and human trafficking and often need to be taught in accomodated ways to ensure comprehension. Willow Winds will teach you to do that in these three days in order to bring the Not a Number program, created by LOVE146, to your organization and embed this valuable, preventative information to your vulerable clients as part of your ongoing curriculum. Once certified you will recieve ongoing virtual support from LOVE146 and be invited to join Willow Winds quarterly, virtual, Community of Practice. For more information check out love146.org or wwsn.ca
