“Safety is not just a goal; it's a commitment to protect our community from the dangers of society. Continued partnerships are essential to empower students, faculty, and staff with knowledge and awareness, helping the school community recognize and combat the dangers of human trafficking in South Carolina. Overall, these partnerships play a vital role in creating a safer environment and promoting the well-being of students while equipping parents with the necessary tools to guide these important conversations with their children.”

“The Catawba Area Human Trafficking Task Force (CAHTTF) has spent the last two years building infrastructure since its relaunch in 2022. The CAHTTF has been able to partner with agencies and community partners from around the Catawba Area to accomplish trainings and outreach. The CAHTTF looks to continue to strengthen and educate to better serve those in the community and those effected by human trafficking.”
