Embedded Files
This tool was designed as part of WomenatthecentrE's previous anti-human trafficking project, Embedding Resilience and Grounding Resistance, to help survivors and their Networks of Care identify practical strategies and resources to promote safety.
This screening tool is a guide to help survivors and their Networks of Care find services that meet their needs. It includes a series of questions and what to help identify agencies and services that may not be safe or supportive.
This provides conversation prompts to help start discussions about boundaries to foster supportive relationships for both Networks of Care and survivors.
This safety planning form is to help Networks of Care reflect and plan for ways to support survivors effectively while prioritizing their own safety and well-being. It encourages thoughtful consideration of potential risks, resources, and strategies to navigate challenging situations.
This provides reflective journaling prompts designed to help guide Networks of Care looking to journal as a form of self-care and reflective practice.
