Sex Trafficking: The Lost Boys | Jesse Leon | TEDxSanDiego

As high as 50% of sex trafficking victims in the US are boys. The average age of entry into sex trafficking for boys is between 11-13 year old. Jesse Leon shares ideas, as a lived experience expert on how to ensure survivors move from living in trauma to being triumphant. His talk will guide foundations, government agencies, universities, the criminal justice system, educators, and mental health professionals to see a new perspective on how to engage male and 2SLGBTQ+ survivors in policy formulation to create multilingual, gender affirming, culturally competent and trauma informed programs. #imnotbroken #noestoyroto #love #acceptance #addiction #mentalhealth #philanthropy #LGBT #Sextrafficking #humantrafficking #masculinity #leadership #government #jobcreation #publicprivatepartnerships #harvard #harvardlatino #harvardalumni #ucberkeley #upenn #education #equity #racialjustice #diversity #inequity #housing #homelessness #substanceabuse #jobs #csec #violence #boys #men #machismo #latino ## #foryou #foryoupage #fyp #therapy #counseling #stigma #bipoc #identity #gay #native #indigenous #MMIP #youth #psychology #hispanic #trauma #latinx #traumainformed #care #systemschange #lmft #lpcc #socialwork #msw #ethnicstudy #systemfailure #family #familia #friends #change #amor #familia #sanacion #healing #drugs #drogas #nativeamerican #saludmental #tedxtalks #tedtalk #tedx #tedxspeaker #ted #speaker #selfconfidence #motivation #spiritual #gratitude #inspiration #instagood #good #life #viral #ttrending #happy #joy www.jesseleonauthor.com Instagram: @jesse_leon_author LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesus-jesse-leon/ Facebook: JesseLeonAuthor Twitter: @jesseleonauthor Jesse Leon is a bilingual award winning author, public speaker, executive coach, and consultant to philanthropy, government, and impact investors.
