🚨 Together, We Can Make a Difference 🚨 We are deeply honored to be part of Suffolk County’s new child advocacy initiative, “Operation Safe and Lasting Return,” which aims to address and combat the trafficking of children on Long Island. 🌟 Suffolk County is among the top 20% of regions in the nation for human trafficking, a heartbreaking reality we must work together to change. This initiative, announced by County Executive Ed Romaine, is a powerful collaboration between law enforcement, social services, and community organizations like The Retreat. It focuses on not just locating missing children but also helping them heal from the trauma they've endured. 💔 “As the only health and human service organization included in this effort, The Retreat understands the crucial role we play in addressing the needs of human trafficking survivors.” – Cate Carbonaro Executive Director With this partnership, we’ll be providing transitional housing and counseling services, empowering survivors with a safe path forward toward healing and hope. Together, we are stronger. 💪 Let’s take action, spread awareness, and support the fight against human trafficking. #EndHumanTrafficking #ChildAdvocacy #SafeAndLastingReturn #CommunitySupport #TheRetreatLI #SuffolkCounty #StandAgainstTrafficking #SupportSurvivors #LongIsland #HumanTraffickingAwareness
