Trusted by CSEC Programs, Too
Collaborate is used by hundreds of Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) advocates to coordinate over 6,700 units of service for more than 500 affected youth each year.
“Because CSEC cases are so much more complex than traditional child sexual abuse cases, it really requires a more collective approach. Collaborate helps us connect several agencies together to understand the client’s needs and address them.”
Naeshia McDowell
CSEC Response Team Director, Children’s Advocacy Centers of Georgia
