Lindsey Speed's Company Details
Traffick911 exists to free youth from sex trafficking through trust-based relationships. This is accomplished by a 24/7 crisis response team, advocates, and community volunteer mentors walking alongside child sex trafficking victims and with community multi-disciplinary team partners. The field-based team responds to law enforcement when a victim is recovered and dispatches to their location within 60 minutes. Highly-trained advocates work to establish felt safety, meet material needs, and implement safety plans. Advocates work with survivors into adulthood for long-term healing and protection from re-victimization through trauma-informed case management, goal-planning, and connection to safe community relationships, including mentors.Traffick911 was named the 2017 Nonprofit of the Year by the Junior League of Collin County and 2013 Outstanding Organization of the Year by the Fort Worth Commission for Women with commendations by the Fort Worth City Council, mayor and a State Senator. We have also been recognized by Homeland Security Investigations as a most-valued partner in this battle to save our children from sexual slavery.In 2017, Traffick911 was selected by the Office of the Governor in Texas to provide direct services including crisis response, case management/advocacy, and mentorship to child sex trafficking victims in North Texas as a part of a regional multi-disciplinary team in North Texas Counties. As a part of Traffick911's Voice & Choice survivor empowerment program, first responders are able to call Traffick911 for 24-hour crisis response to begin relational advocacy services with the survivor and support them on their journey to healing.The Traffick911 team has identified and served over 1,700 victims and their work - in close partnership with law enforcement - has led to multiple state and federal felony arrests and convictions.
