Nakisa Asefnia, Sommer C. Blair, Kelly Perales, & Mark D. Weist; Center on PBIS
The aim of this practice brief is to highlight the broader issue of domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) and suggest a framework for integrating school-based prevention and intervention strategies through Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). The authors provide a brief review of DMST and connections to PBIS; they then discuss how actions within the PBIS framework may help prevent DMST and provide assistance to student victims and their families.
