Abstract
Through direct correspondence with providers and community partners in Lewiston, ME, human trafficking was identified as a prevalent issue not receiving enough attention. These discussions revealed lack of provider knowledge as a limiting factor in potential victims receiving resources and support. This project aims to address and shrink this knowledge gap via informational sessions, resident training, and partnering with nearby nonprofits who work to provide support to victims.
