Romero, Ph.D., NCC, LPC-A, and Priscilla Rose Prasath, Ph.D., LPC, MBA from the research lab Counselors Against Sex Trafficking. They talk about their work at CAST, and share some key information about sex trafficking, its impact, and what counselors need to know to best serve clients who have experienced this particular form of trauma.   

To learn more about their work and the competencies they have developed, you can find the Counselors Against Sex Trafficking at www.castrl.com. Our guests recommend the Polaris Project (www.polarisproject.org) for more information about sex trafficking. 

If you or someone you know is experiencing sex trafficking, we recommend contacting the National Human Trafficking Hotline.
