This is a challenging time for all of us as we cope with COVID-19, comply with self-quarantine and social distancing guidelines, deal with school closures and adjust to working from home or continuing to work outside the home at risk of exposure to the virus. Children & teens are unable to participate in extracurricular activities or do things as simple as hang out with friends or visit grandparents. It’s no doubt that we are all learning to adapt to what is now the “new normal”.

With more people social distancing and with stay-at-home orders in place, the world has seen a dramatic increase in the online activity of children and teens which means a heightened concern for their safety and wellbeing on behalf of parents, educators and advocates. Below are some resources that provide best practices for internet safety. The information below can assist youth with social media safety and assist parents, educators and advocates in creating a safer environment for all children.

The CCHTTF Training Subcommittee responds to human trafficking training requests made by the public and first responders. Amid the pandemic, we continue to spread awareness about human trafficking and have transitioned from in-person trainings to virtual presentations/webinars throughout Cook County and the Northern District of Illinois.

    ​Every day in January, we posted content created by members of our task force to highlight the realities of human trafficking locally and nationally. Learn about the impact of COVID-19 on human trafficking, how to separate fact from fiction about how trafficking happens and become knowledgeable about recent cases, relevant research, policies and resources for survivors and advocates.
