Abstract
With Georgia becoming a hotspot for human trafficking, school professionals having a better understanding of the trauma that surrounds victims of the commercial sexual exploitation of children and its impact on their academic, behavior, and self-identity is crucial. Schools having awareness of how to identify victims and provide the appropriate resources, crisis interventions, and/or preventive practices are equally important in protecting our youth from sex-trafficking and further sexual trauma.
