- Transportation
- Emotional Support
- Information and referral to community resources
- Accompaniment to court and other appointments
- Education and orientation about American culture and systems.
- Advocacy within legal and criminal justice systems, and social service agencies.
Mosaic’s multicultural staff also assists victims in navigating the complex justice system and in interactions with federal and local law enforcement.
Mosaic Family Services has served over 500 victims of human trafficking since the inception of the Services for Survivors of Trafficking Program in 2001. Clients are referred by law enforcement, social and medical service providers and individuals within the community. Mosaic also operates a 24-hour trafficking hotline.
In order to improve and coordinate the response to trafficking across the region and nation, Mosaic participates in groups and coalition that have been formed to combat trafficking and serve victims. Mosaic is a founding member of the North Texas Coalition Against Human Trafficking, a multidisciplinary team including federal and local law enforcement and social service providers who are committed identifying, assisting, and serving trafficked persons. Mosaic is also a member of the Freedom Network, a nationwide coalition of agencies that provide services for trafficking survivors in the United States.
Mosaic also provides education, trainings and multilingual informational materials to the immigrant communities at risk for trafficking as well as to law enforcement, other service providers and community groups to increase awareness and understanding of this often invisible human rights abuse.
