This year has vastly expanded the scope and fidelity with which we can understand the Ohio CAC Networks critical role in addressing human trafficking of youth. Looking at internal responses by MDTs and the larger role CACs continue to play in elevating response within their communities - the positive and healing impact has been tremendous. Under this grant, in tandem with the passionate and critical work done by our CACs, unprecedented growth has been witnessed and we aim to continue expanding the capacity and care available so that more youth can receive the healing they need as they begin their life again, free and not only survive but thrive.
