with guest Joeline Magill of Hope Restored.

We all know what it's like to want to belong—it's an intrinsic part of what makes us human. For those who grew up in a healthy family environment, these needs are met through bedtime stories, family dinners, outings, and more. But what about people who didn’t share that privilege? What are the connections between these unmet needs and exploitation and human trafficking? And don't kid yourself, this dark world lurks even within our own neighbourhoods and cities.

Hear from Joeline Magill, Executive and Founding Director at Hope Restored Canada, as she shares how this deep desire for love and belonging can easily be exploited, but also how healthy relationships can bring healing and restoration to people who have experienced sexual exploitation and trafficking. Listen in as Joeline urges us to pay attention and teaches us to recognize warning signs so we can confront exploitation before it starts.
