Training and Education: Resources

The CSE Institute routinely trains stakeholders on the best practices to address CSE using an established curriculum with accompanying materials. We have trained over 2000 members of the law enforcement, prosecutors, defense counsel, judiciary, and victim services community throughout Pennsylvania, facilitating a uniform approach on the implementation of Act 105 (2014) Pennsylvania’s comprehensive anti-trafficking legislation.

We periodically publish resources to assist us in our education of the general public. Feel free to use and share this information to help educate and advocate against human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. Please note that the contents of these resources in no way constitutes legal advice.
