FREQUENTLY, THESE CHILDREN DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THEM IS TRAFFICKING, SO THIS INFORMATION IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN HELPING THE CHILD SELF-IDENTIFY AS A VICTUM, THEREBY MAKING THEM MORE AMENABLE TO ACCEPTING ASSISTANCE. EMBRACING FREEDOM ADVOCATES ALSO MENTOR CHILD VICTIMS AS A PART OF ADVOCACY, CLOSELY FOLLOWING THE CHILD'S JOURNEY FROM BEGINNING TO END. ADVOCATES ATTEND COURT HEARINGS, ARRANGE MEETINGS WITH HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS AND OTHER SERVICES, COMMUNICATE WITH THE FAMILY AND CHILD REGULARLY TO ENSURE PROGRESS AND HEALING, ARRANGE FUN ACTIVITIES FOR THE CHILD, AND ARE AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS ANY ISSUE THAT COMES UP ALONG THE WAY. EMBRACING FREEDOM ALSO WORKS TO COORDINATE LOCAL SERVICE PROVIDERS, CREATING CHANNELS OF COMMUNICATION THAT ALLOW FOR QUICK AND DECISIVE ACTIONS WHEN A TRAFFICKED CHILD IS IDENTIFIED. THESE CHANNELS AID IN RESCUE EFFORTS AND IN ATTAINING APPROPRIATE SERVICES FOR CHILD VICTIMS.Expenses $609,920 · revenue $899,731
