INITIATIVE PARTNERS
Resources for Shelters
Shelters play a big role in supporting trafficking victims. When victims are looking for safety, oftentimes they turn to shelters for refuge. Equipping shelters with the right tools, information and training will be important in connecting victims to the specialized supports they need. If there is specific training you feel would be beneficial for you or your shelter staff to successfully accept referrals from the Safety Network Coordinator, we invite you to send your feedback and questions about the Safer Way Out initiative to saferwayout@reachedmonton.ca.
