We are encouraged by the County’s adoption of a public health perspective when addressing human trafficking. Cast has over 25 years of experience providing direct services for survivors of all forms of trafficking across Los Angeles County, and supporting policy, training, technical assistance. As an authority on human trafficking, Cast has presented several recommendations to the LA County Board of Supervisors.

Cast Letter on BOS Motions_17 Nov 2023

Human trafficking can have long-term effects on survivors’ mental health. Additionally, many of the conditions that make people vulnerable to trafficking, such as poverty and discrimination, can also have long-term effects on mental health.³ One of the most common outcomes is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This briefing note explores the impact of Cast’s Community Case Management services on identifying & addressing PTSD among trafficking survivors. Read more of our Briefing Note on PTSD below.
