This toolkit uses notes, tips, activities, and checklists to provide practical strategies for TVAP providers engaged in safety planning with youth survivors of human trafficking with special consideration given to safety planning with foreign national youth by recognizing the intersectional identities they hold and the physical and emotional risks to their safety that exist due to their various lived experiences of trauma.

Throughout the toolkit, the terms youth, minor, and child are used interchangeably and indicate persons under the age of eighteen except where a particular age range is specified for ageappropriate safety planning. This toolkit explores ways to assess the safety of foreign national youth, details tips and tools to recognize and respond to crisis situations and provides age-appropriate strategies for maintaining physical and emotional safety in early childhood and in children and adolescent
youth.

This toolkit presents key safety considerations for immigrants, including ‘know your rights’ information and information about voluntary departure and repatriation.
