⁠⠀
Are there images of women with their hands tied? Are people chained? Are their bruises on their faces? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Sex trafficking looks very different from the sensationalized images we see on TV and on social media. Take this personal account from Melanie Cholish, for example--familial trafficking is much more common than kidnappings. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
DeliverFund's General Advisor @timeaenagy writes that these are not accurate images "since most of the 'chain' is psychological" for victims, and "bruises are normally in places you can not see, otherwise the buyer would not purchase their services for sex."⁠⠀
⁠⠀
There are, of course, exceptions to the rule, but in order to combat human trafficking here at home, we need to face the ugly truth.
Day One of the @nmagofficial NM Human Trafficking Day One of the @nmagofficial NM Human Trafficking Conference! Great to see so many dedicated professionals in #newmexico working on this issue. 💙#nmcacs #endhumantrafficking #endchildsextrafficking #training #humantraffickingawareness #humantraffickingawarenessmonth

“Give yourself some self-care, whatever that means for you. Nourish yourself and allow yourself to feel whatever you need to at this time. There is no right or wrong way to feel. And there’s no right or wrong way to take care of yourself. Do what you need, be kind to yourself and be kind to others. ❤️✨”

#repost• @scottyshouse One of our counselors sha #repost• @scottyshouse One of our counselors shared the following story about their 4 year-old client using the resiliency tools being taught: I teach my younger clients a coping skill called “cookie breathing, " a form of relaxation breathing where the child visualizes a pan of fresh, warm cookies, and then we breathe in and “smell the cookies” and breathe out to “cool off the cookies”. I practiced this on many occasions with a 4 year-old little girl who has a middle school-aged brother. The mother informed me the family was at a store recently, and the older brother became very angry because mom wouldn’t buy something he wanted. The mother said the little girl looked up at her brother calmly and said, “Maybe you should do some cookie breathing!” While this is a humorous story, it also illustrates how our clients are internalizing the skills we teach them, and then offering to help others with the same problems. Counseling is not just about helping children heal, it also teaches children about kindness and helping others the same way they have been helped. What a wonderful circle of kindness we are part of!
