This edWebinar will assist school personnel in recognizing signs of child sex trafficking among the students they work with and provide the necessary tools to report suspicions of child sex trafficking. Educators will also learn how to provide students with online safety skills and assist parents with their concerns regarding online behavior of students and potentially unsafe situations. With increased online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this information is critical in helping school personnel protect their students.

This edWebinar will be of interest to teachers and school leaders of the elementary through high school levels.

Nate Davis graduated from Weber State University with a B.S. in social work and a minor in philosophy. He’s worked with many different populations within the field but has spent the past two and half years working to prevent child abuse in its various forms by presenting to classrooms across the state. He’s also helped to plan and assemble various curricula for the agency, and trained school counselors and other personnel to recognize and report abuse, as well as give presentations to their own students. Nate is passionate about protecting kids and empowering families, and this includes spreading awareness of child sex trafficking and how to respond if we encounter it in our communities.
