A Guide to Safe Harbor Protocol Project Planning

Communities across Minnesota are coming together to talk about how to respond to sexual exploitation and sex trafficking. MNCASA has been working with teams of professionals from across disciplines to improve their systems response through developing community-specific, victim-centered protocols.

Protocol development can be an intimidating goal, so MNCASA has worked to develop tools and resources that teams can use at every stage of the process. This resource is intended to help teams with project planning—although every community will need to find the process that works best for them, this tool provides some suggestions for benchmarks, timelines, and important considerations.
