Project Beacon
Increasing Services for Urban American Indian and Alaska Native Victims of Sex Trafficking.
Project Beacon was created to increase the quantity and quality of services currently available to American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) victims of sex trafficking who reside in urban areas. Project Beacon is meant to help bridge the divide between urban Indian centers and AI/AN victims of sex trafficking.
The Beacon Project uses a comprehensive Services Model with four components
- Collaborative partnerships
- Adoption of a victim-centered approach to service delivery
- Intensive case management services
- Specific required categories of victim services
Key Aspects of Victim-Centered Approach to Service Delivery
- Trauma-informed approach to provision of services
- Individualized service plans
- Educating sex trafficking victims about their options
