In this thought-provoking and interactive workshop, attendees embarked on a journey of discovery led by Stephanie Olson, an inspirational speaker and CEO of The Set Me Free Project. The session addressed the critical issue of sexual violence, sex trafficking, and forced criminality among youth while emphasizing the importance of cultural humility in creating safe and supportive spaces for disclosure and healing. This presentation centers on fostering cultural humility among educators to address sexual violence, sex trafficking, and forced criminality among youth. Cultural humility recognizes the importance of understanding and respecting individuals' diverse cultural backgrounds and experiences. When educators approach disclosures from a culturally humble perspective, they can create a safer and more supportive environment for victims to come forward.
