As a victim-serving nonprofit, it is important that victim-centered best practices carry over to our social media awareness efforts. In this workshop, participants will learn how to create trauma-sensitive social media campaigns that respect ethical storytelling and victim-informed best practices and how sensualized social media campaigns can lead to inaccurate education of juvenile sex trafficking. As a result, community members and multidisciplinary partners can misinterpret the realities of juvenile sex trafficking which can lead to prolonged victimization of youth. This workshop provides accessible creation tools, teaches collaborative social media campaigns, and incorporates examples from modalities such as nonprofit organizations and nonprofit leaders. The best practices described in this session elevate lived experience(s) through evidence-based research and survivor-informed studies including Rebecca Bender and Jessa Dillow Crisp.
Presentation Objectives:
· Explain how to create trauma-sensitive social media campaigns that respect ethical storytelling and victim-informed best practices
· Explain how to incorporate trauma sensitivity and victim-informed care into your nonprofit’s social media strategy by eliminating sensualized social media campaigns
· Increase accountability with attendees through trauma-sensitive, victim-informed social media awareness efforts
