January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month. The California Victim Compensation Board (CalVCB) can provide human trafficking victims up to $10,000 per year in compensation, for up to two years if a trafficker kept them from their freedom. CalVCB can also provide compensation for medical, dental, mental health counseling, relocation, and more.
Please use and share our CalVCB Human Trafficking Prevention Toolkit to help us raise awareness about human trafficking and available services to help those heal from it.
