Youturn Youth Support Services has supported youth victims and survivors of human trafficking since 2016. Our established program in Ottawa is highly regarded by community partners as and effective trauma informed program that identifies, prevents, and works effectively with youth 12-24yrs who are survivors or at high risk of becoming involved in human trafficking.  Our most recent evaluation suggests that our program demonstrates improved protective factors and decreased risk factors; Improved mental health, skills and wellbeing outcomes; Evidence of transitioning out of human trafficking; Improved problem solving skills and improved connections to family, friends and community.
