ERADICATING SLAVERY BEFORE IT STARTS.
It Stops With Me
IT STOPS WITH ME is a 4-session human trafficking prevention curriculum for young people (we recommend ages 13+) and can be used in schools, churches, home school co-ops, workplaces, shelters and home viewing. However, the engaging and informative videos are highly beneficial for people of all ages, professions and backgrounds, and have been used in multiple settings for workplace training and adult education as well.
Because IT STOPS WITH ME was developed from boots-on-the-ground work in multiple sectors of the fight against human trafficking in America, its videos depict the issue from a well-rounded and shockingly realistic perspective. In fact, the video stories in this curriculum have been used by professionals at a national law enforcement level because of their well-portrayed accuracy.
