The MWL Community Action and Advocacy Committee Presents:

MN Safe Harbor creates a trauma-informed, victim-centered system of response to for these youth and to move them towards recovery and healing. Attorneys are in a unique position to identify and support youth who are being sexually exploited or are at-risk for sexual exploitation. Learn how you can play an important role in the Safe Harbor system of care.
