The program is a beta, a first of its kind called the CTD Program (CSE-IT, TREAT IT, DIVERT IT) and is designed for early identification of victims and kids who are high-risk for trafficking, to then provide them and their families with intensive case-management and community-based services for trauma associated with victimization, and to ultimately divert these victims away from the traditional criminal justice system all together. There is no county match required for this award.
