Mountain Comprehensive Care Center FY24 Services for Victims of Human Trafficking

Through this award, Mountain Comprehensive Care Center (MCCC) will build internal capacity to serve trafficking victims in the Big Sandy Region of Central Appalachia Kentucky. Additionally, MCCC will train internal and new hire staff on engaging with and supporting trafficking victims, and, through its community-based partnerships, law enforcement and other organizations, grow the safety net of providers who are engaged in providing inclusive, supportive and complementary programming. MCCC will engage its staff in train-the-trainer programming that will support the training of law enforcement and MCCC staff to recognize trafficking and connect victims to the services they need. MCCC will also leverage its organizational programming, including that of the Healing Place and Street Outreach programs, to enhance collaboration of community organizations and build MCCC’s capacity to support victims and link them to healthcare services.
