Training. Collaboration. Impact.

Texas CIT Association was proud to attend the Fort Bend Anti-Trafficking Collective Summit. The Association’s Vice President Brittany Moreno and Region 2 Director Emily Morris were honored to represent Texas CIT and their agency Sugar Land Police Department at this important event, reinforcing our commitment to collaboration, education, and stronger community partnerships.

Human trafficking and mental health are closely connected, making collaboration between law enforcement, behavioral health professionals, victim advocates, healthcare providers, and community partners essential.

Every opportunity to train and network strengthens our ability to recognize trauma, support survivors, and provide a coordinated, trauma-informed response. Thank you to the Fort Bend Anti-Trafficking Collective bringing professionals together to learn and collaborate.

Together, we are stronger.
