"Healthy relationships" are probably not the first thing that comes to mind when we think about child sex trafficking, yet the two are powerfully connected. Serving in a ministry for child sex trafficking survivors over the last five years, Elisha McNeal has seen and heard countless stories of how young people end up in places of unimaginable pain--and very unhealthy relationships are so often the common denominator. Who is susceptible to trafficking? What do parents need to know about this topic? How can parents guide their children to develop and maintain healthy friendships and relationships with others? Elisha answers these questions and more in this insightful conversation.

Elisha is the Director of Community Engagement and Training at Gracehaven, a ministry of Central Ohio Youth for Christ that seeks to end child sex trafficking in Ohio.
