Finally, users will spend significant time exploring and practicing helpful engagement frameworks including: trauma reenactments, the stages (cycle) of change, motivational interviewing techniques and trauma-informed care.

CSE-IT 2.0: User Training - 10/14/2025

Commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) is a major child protection issue for communities across the country. The Commercial Sexual Exploitation - Identification Tool (the CSE-IT, 'see-it') was created by WestCoast Children's Clinic to address issues specific to sexual exploitation of youth, including the difficulty of identifying youth at risk of trafficking, make the provision of appropriate treatment and services a challenge for youth-serving systems. The CSE-IT is a validated, trauma informed screening tool for ages 10-24+, and is widely used. This training will address the importance of early identification, provide foundational concepts of CSE of children, and present the CSE-IT as a method of screening and identifying vulnerable youth. Providers will leave ready to implement the CSE-IT with their clients. WestCoast requires User Agreements to be signed for every organization doing training. Please reach out to start this process- [email protected].
