Our Past County and Government Events:
2025.09.18 – “Voices of Resilience ~ Survivor-Led Best Practices in Trauma-informed Care” with Leesa Maree Bleicher and Lisa Diaz-McQuaid, hosted by Wisdom International: Help2Others.
** We had to postpone this event but stay tuned for it’s revival in the Spring **
LeesaMaree and Lisa offer this training for all professionals, advocates and community members interested to hear how our trauma-informed healing systems are helping victims and survivors of sex trafficking and how they are not, where gaps currently exist that may actually be causing harm to those we believed we were helping.

What a great turnout! We had 45 people attend to learn about the U.S.’s involvement in global trafficking. We covered basic history of the anti-trafficking movement globally and the good that the USA is doing annually to bring awareness of the issue on the world scale with our State Department Trafficking in Persons (TiP) Report.

A lively Q&A sessoin finished the evening.
