Commercially Sexually Exploited Youth (CSEY)
Our CSEY advocates provide 24/7 rapid response, advocacy, long and short-term case management and trust-based relational support to youth under the age of 22 who are being exploited or those at risk of being exploited.
What is Human Trafficking?
CSEY Advocacy and Care Coordination
Human Trafficking is a violation of human rights in which victims are exploited for either labor or sexual acts for profit.
​
Sex Trafficking is when an individual uses force, fraud, or coercion to recruit, harbor, transport, provision, obtain, patronize, or solicit someone else for a commercial sex act.
At Aware Central Texas, we are proud to be one of thirteen Commercially Sexually Exploited Youth (CSEY) Advocacy Programs of the Governor’s Child Sex Trafficking Team in Texas. Through this program, we provide advocacy, support, and resources to youth impacted by commercial sexual exploitation.
​
Our team is also part of the Bell County Care Coordination Team, recently endorsed for our commitment to collaborative, trauma-informed care. Together, we work alongside community partners, law enforcement, and service providers to ensure that every survivor receives the safety, healing, and empowerment they deserve.
