Transforming Practices Conference 2026

This session will provide an overview of the informational lessons that the CACAC is offering to youth groups and schools to counter child exploitation and trafficking. Knowledge is power, and our intention is to provide all youth in Central Alberta information regarding the methods used for online and in person grooming and to recognize the risks. We cover basic ways to keep themselves safe online, and provide students with information to recognize the signs of possible exploitation and trafficking. We encourage them to report to trusted adults if they have any concerns for their own or a peers wellbeing.

The Counter Exploitation and Trafficking information sessions can be adjusted for length to fit the available class times of each school or youth group. We also provide information sessions for staff, parents, and community groups. These sessions will provide basic statistics on the prevalence of trafficking within Central Alberta and information to recognize grooming risks and signs of trafficking in our youth.
