Understanding the complexity of serving tracking survivors helps us better understand the issue of human trafficking. Sandie interviews Sherri Harris from The Salvation Army to discuss how The Salvation Army works with trafficking victims in Orange County and helps us understand all the resources needed to serve the whole person. Key Points The Salvation Army's NETS (Networking of Emergency Trafficking Services) Program provides long-term assistance to foreign born victims of human trafficking. It's important in the first 30-72 hours to build trust and provide the basic necessities. The NETS Program case load is predominately labor trafficking. Use your gut instinct and look out for patterns when calling the National Human Trafficking Hotline.

This is episode number 23, airing in March 2012. Welcome to the Ending Human Trafficking podcast. My name is Dave Stachowiak. Sandie [00:00:28] And I'm Sandie Morgan. Dave [00:00:30] And this is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. Sandie, it's great to be back with you on another episode of the Ending Human Trafficking podcast and our continued efforts to study the issues so we can help others to learn how to best join the effort to end human trafficking. Sandie [00:00:53] Well, I'm really encouraged with the growing audience of listeners and participants, the community engagement that I'm experiencing, just getting emails and phone calls. And last week, Dave, you would have been really encouraged. I got a call from the East Coast. Dave [00:01:08] Oh, cool. Sandie [00:01:09] And the words were exactly, "I've been devouring the podcasts because I need to present at a university function and we need information." And so it was very rewarding and we want to have more opportunity to engage with our community. If you have questions, you can email [email protected]. If there's something you're looking for and you can't find it, send us a question and we'll do our best to research that and find good information for you. Dave [00:01:40] And we do respond to everything. And if your question or comment is helpful for our audience as well we'll even include it here on the show. And you can also reach out to us by phone and that number is 714-966-6361. So feel free to reach out to us, whichever way is most convenient for you and you get to tap into Sandie's expertise and the expertise here of the center to really help you to study the issues more effectively so you can understand how to best support our efforts in ending human trafficking. Sandie [00:02:13] And that's a really good lead in to where we're going today because our center is more about a community of experts and people that we partner and collaborate with. And one of our partners is the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force, and part of our partnership includes the victim services aspect for international foreign victims of human trafficking right in our community. And that service is provided by the Salvation Army and the director of their NETS program, which I'm going to ask her to explain what that means is Sheri Harris. So welcome to the Ending Human Trafficking podcast, Sherri. Sherri [00:02:55] Thanks. Fun to be here. Sandie [00:02:57] So tell us, what is your job description? What do you do? Sherri [00:03:02] That's a really good question and it depends on the day. But I work as the director for the Network of Emergency Trafficking Services. And so in Orange County, basically what that means is if we get a call from law enforcement or a social service agency or a local partner, and they say that they have a victim of human trafficking that's from another count...
