Since 2008, survivors of human trafficking wouldn't be where they are today without the ongoing efforts of organizations like Stop Human Trafficking Coalition of Central Missouri. CMSHTC outreach co-chair APRIL ROTHWEILER invites everyone to a free what-to-look-for-and-what-to-do-about-it training seminar next Monday at the Columbia Public Library. January 18, 2023
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. On Friday, we talked about it from a gun-related perspective (with Moms Demand Action), today we're talking about it from a human trafficking perspective with NANETTE WARD from Stop Human Trafficking Coalition of Central Missouri. 'Human Trafficking 101' is a free training seminar being offered next month that will "help you learn about human trafficking whether you're a teacher, parent, pastor or just a concerned citizen."

Stop Human Trafficking Coalition of Central Missouri board member NANETTE WARD is taking a moment to remember her program's humble beginnings back in 2008, and how they got their start on Radio Friends a year later. Over the years, the name has changed a bit but their mission remains the same! Also, League of Women Voters Columbia-Boone County chapter president MARILYN McLEOD encourages everyone to attend next Tuesday's virtual 'Lunch and Learn' program. The focus this time will be on the effects of social media use on youth mental health. (4:56) May 5, 2022
