A Parent’s Guide to Recovery
A support curriculum for parents and caregivers who are ready to heal the whole family after a human trafficking experience
When Susan’s eldest daughter was trafficked in 2012, it had a profoundly traumatizing effect on the entire family. They struggled to find support, resources or counsel that they were in so dire need of.
Thus, in 2017 Susan founded the Parent Coalition to End Human Trafficking out of absolute necessity, motivated by her desire that no family ever go through what her family did alone ever again. The PCHT is an organization with a mission to bridge the very terrifying gap between the devastation of human trafficking and holistic family healing.
A Parents Guide To Recovery (PGTR) is meant to help you take your power back by arming you with critical tools and resources to move forward as a connected family unit.
Who would benefit from this course?
The PCHT coalition is all about parents supporting parents when it comes to processing and healing from the horrors of human trafficking. From younger siblings to parents, to extended family members and caretakers, human trafficking leaves a trail of destruction in its wake that affects everyone and A Parents Guide to Recovery Course was created with the whole family in mind.

Get Behind the Wheel
Education is the best prevention against human trafficking.
The PCHT’s Get Behind the Wheel course is a preventative curriculum that addresses the myths surrounding human trafficking and provides strategies for families to minimize risk. In the same way that no one would give a teenager a set of car keys without lessons on how to drive first, children and young people need education on navigating the online world safely before being given access to devices. Get Behind the Wheel provides facts and information about victim demographics and the different types of traffickers, ways to identify a healthy relationship, and what alarm bells to watch out for from potential groomers. Get Behind the Wheel is also a guided resource that equips parents to facilitate open family communication and provides practical guidance on the safest ways to confront trafficking situations.
