The link and passcode to the online Zoom session will be emailed to you approximately one week before the session

This presentation will focus on a set of two strengths-based tools, created in Wisconsin, to enhance youth service providers’ response to high risk and trafficked youth and give both providers and young people ways to explore and articulate the strength and resiliency factors they possess to achieve their goals. The tools were in development from 2020-2021 and incorporate evidence informed concepts and ideas from research literature and existing qualitative reports, listening sessions with youth serving professionals and stakeholders across the state, and youth/young adult discussion groups. We recommend the tools as suitable for use with any young person approximately 11-18. The tools are intentionally inclusive of urban, suburban, and rural experiences, BIPOC experiences, LGBTQI experiences, male, female, and non-binary experiences.

Rebekah Dettmann received her MSW at the University of Wisconsin – Madison in 2014 and is a graduate of the Title IV-E Public Child Welfare Training Program. Rebekah currently works at the Milwaukee Child Advocacy Center where she has served as the Region 3 Anti-Human Trafficking Coordinator (Milwaukee County) through the DCF Regional Hub initiative since its start in 2018. In this role she has had the opportunity to facilitate over 150 multidisciplinary team case staffings specifically addressing the unique needs of high risk and trafficked youth.

Drawing on more than 30 years of experience, Claudine O'Leary educates communities on how to effectively respond to youth and adults with life experience in the sex trades. Claudine develops youth leadership, leads dynamic, youth-centered groups for teens, and advocates for systems changes based on analysis with youth. She is an independent consultant providing training and technical assistance as Rethink Resources and leads Represent, a small nonprofit focused on the rights, options, and healing for teens with life experience in the sex trades and the streets. She has a BA from Northeastern Illinois University in Critical Pedagogy through the University Without Walls program. She draws on her life experience as a teen who experienced commercial sexual exploitation and many years of youth advocacy to inform her work.
