Dear Marti,
I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for your time spent with our Local IDA! Collaborative educating them on the all-important topic of Human Trafficking. Unfortunately, we are seeing more and more of this in our areas and want to be as educated as possible on ways to identify victims early on in an effort to refer them to proper treatment and care. While you truly speak from the heart, you have a way of also emphasizing what you have gained from your experiences as a Human Trafficking survivor and how you have overcome much trauma in your life. These experiences are crucial for those of us that work with endangered youth and adults in order to understand what they are going through.
I applaud your courage and your willingness to share your story with others! I wish you all the best and hope to have further trainings with you going forward!
All the Best,
Susan Lightfoot
Chief Probation Officer
Henry County Courts
