Presentations, Services, and Testimonials

Many social service providers and front line workers have youth clientele who are being sexually exploited, or at risk. These youth can go under-serviced without the proper training and education on the topic. Our presentation will educate staff on the warning signs of exploited youth, current grooming tactics, recent trends, and relevant legislature and resources to help protect their clients. Staff will also have the chance to create concrete strategies for their own clients and have their personal concerns addressed. 

A parent's goal is the safety and health of their child. This can feel like an impossible feat in a technology heavy and peer reliant world for our children and youth. Learn about the different forms of sexual exploitation, online and in person, alongside practical tips and strategies you can use as a parent to help keep your children and youth safe from all forms of sexual exploitation. Parents will walk away having knowledge on online sexual exploitation and how they can keep their children and youth safe.

Educators and school district staff play a key role in the personal lives and safety of their students. Often times, a student's safety and wellbeing relies on school staff, who come in contact with them daily. Learn about one of the most common and under-discussed youth issues in BC: Sexual Exploitation. Staff will learn about the different forms of sexual exploitation, current trends with the students in their community, the different forms of predators and peer driven exploitation. Staff will walk away with a better understanding of how these issues affect their students and what they can do to help make a difference.

"Tiana gave the organization I work for a great presentation regarding youth who are sexually exploited. This presentation was informative, relevant and used current information that we were able to apply to our everyday Youth care practice! Tiana handled the sensitive topic around Sexual Exploitation in a highly professional and youth centred way. "

- Michael, Youth Safe House Manager in East Vancouver

"Tiana is an amazing communicator and inspiring speaker. I am inspired by her passion and appreciative of her knowledge around exploitation and trafficking. Tiana brought a well rounded presentation that provided new ideas and information to a mixed audience, those who work at the prevention stage and those working with victims. As a community victim support worker I am cognizant of the many layers to the issue of exploitation and was very impressed by Tiana's ability to take those layers and make them visible. She provides reliable and concrete direction for front line workers, teachers and community stakeholders and would be a most valuable asset for agencies who are looking to provide updated information, education and training on sexual exploitation.
