TAMIU Center to Counter Human Trafficking

The Next-Gen Prevention Summit

Countering Trafficking Through Immersive Tech and Trauma-Informed Care

Presented by: The Center to Counter Human Trafficking (CCHT) & The TAMIU College of Education

Summit Overview

The TAMIU Center to Counter Human Trafficking (TAMIU CCHT) is collaborating with the TAMIU College of Education to train future educators, administrators, and school professionals. This summit will equip future teachers with practical tools to recognize and respond to human trafficking within school environments.

The training covers key trafficking indicators, trauma-informed classroom practices, Social Emotional Learning (SEL) alignment, and strategies to mitigate teacher burnout. Utilizing cutting-edge mixed reality simulations, participants will actively practice navigating real-world student interactions in a safe, controlled setting. Educators will learn exactly what actions to take to protect their students, how to report safely and effectively according to Texas mandates, and what local resources are available throughout South Texas. Our goal is to ensure that as these professionals enter the classroom, they feel prepared, resilient, and empowered to support vulnerable youth.
