As a survivor-founded, survivor-led, and survivor-operated organization, our services build upon our experiences of
Striving, Thriving, and Overcoming.
More than just our lived experiences, our staff and allies offer more than 140 years of direct practice and community-based research expertise.
Built upon the Foundation of the Lotus Anti-Trafficking Model™, developed by Dr. Countryman-Roswurm, our services are intended to offers pathways to holistic prosperity for individuals, groups, and communities facing abuse, exploitation, and trafficking through the provision of direct-service programming, education and training, consultation and technical assistance, research, and policy development.

Designed and validated by the Founding Executive Director of CCHT, Dr. Countryman-Roswurm, and the CCHT colleagues and partners Dr. Gregory, Dr. DiLollo, Ms. Patton-Brackin, and Ms. Farres, CCHT offers some of the only validated and quantifiable human trafficking tools to date. Specific tools used for research include:
Through the use of these tools, CCHT can assist your organization/agency in:
- Identifying strengths in anti-trafficking efforts as well as areas that may need improvement.
- Measuring areas of development in anti-trafficking efforts.
- Identifying those at-risk of or subjugated to human trafficking in a manner that guides individual practice interventions.
- Developing services that respond to the issues and holistic needs of those at-risk of or subjugated to DMST.
- Recognizing and applying the strengths and resilience factors of those who are at risk of or subjugated to human trafficking.
- Evaluating efficacy of service delivery to victims/survivors of human trafficking.
To ensure that the policies behind efforts to combat human trafficking are both thorough and strong, we are regularly involved in the development of community and state laws. In fact, members of CCHT played a key role in the development of state legislation including:
-
Kansas HB 2034 – an anti-trafficking law that created the crime of commercial exploitation of a child, strengthened penalties for trafficking related offenses and created a victims’ assistance fund using fine collected by perpetrators.
-
Kansas SB 179 – legislation updating anti-trafficking laws to provide an affirmative defense for victims of human trafficking. This prevents victims from being charged for actions committed while under the control of a trafficker.
