Volunteer Info Session: Support Restitution Applications for Survivors of Online Exploitation

Thu Oct 9, 2025 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM EDT Online, Zoom

The Department of Justice has opened a restitution process for survivors who were trafficked or exploited online through platforms such as Backpage and CityXGuide. Survivors may be eligible for financial compensation, but the petition process often requires medical and mental health documentation of losses.

HEAL Trafficking is collaborating with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) to connect survivors with pro bono lawyers. We are seeking licensed health and mental health providers willing to volunteer their expertise virtually.

Join this info session to learn how you can help ensure survivors access the compensation they deserve.

Session Options:

  • Tuesday, October 7 at 3:00 PM ET

  • Thursday, October 9 at 9:00 AM ET

If you cannot attend either session, please register to indicate your interest and we will share next steps. For more information email info@healtrafficking.org
