Abstract
Abstract
The commercial sexual exploitation of children is a growing concern around the world. Education about this concern is a key component to preventing further occurrences. The Committee for Children found few educational models in US schools. School counselors play a significant role in preventing, identifying, and connecting students to community resources. This article offers a three-step trauma informed model that can be replicated. School counselors can implement this model within their comprehensive school counseling program to increase awareness and provide support for exploited children, parents, and the community. This model encompasses three steps of awareness, identification, and support.
Keywords: sexual exploitation, children, education, trauma-informed, school counselors, Model
