We're restructuring our monthly calls to provide higher-quality technical assistance and ensure everyone gets the most out of these sessions.

New Monthly Call Structure:

  • 1st Wednesday: Trafficking analysis questions only
  • 3rd Wednesday: Trauma-informed/non-legal topics
  • All other calls: General legal questions

Requirements to Submit Questions for 1st Wednesday Calls:

  • You must have completed Human Trafficking Defined (including passing the quiz) OR an EMP Analysis Workshop
  • This ensures everyone has the foundational framework for effective walk-through analysis
  • Anyone is welcome to attend and listen to these calls
  • If you've completed an EMP worksheet for your case, we'll prioritize your question when we receive multiple submissions
