Wide Awake: What Everyone Needs to Know About Trafficking | Susan Peters | Episode 422

Episode Description from the Publisher

I sat down with Susan Peters, CEO of Unbound Now, to discuss the myths that keep people from recognizing trafficking and how we can respond when something doesn't seem right. Susan explains that trafficking rarely looks like movies portray it. Instead, victims are often groomed over time through manipulation and relationships with people they already know. Susan and I discuss how parents, teachers, coaches, and community members can recognize warning signs and what to do when something doesn't seem right. We also talk about the hope found in restoration and how survivors can heal with compassionate support. Whether you're a parent, educator, or someone who wants to make a difference, this conversation equips you with practical knowledge and encourages you to become a safe, attentive presence in your community.
