often do not respond to the same approaches to treatment as other sexual assault victims. Interventions may be more
effective if youth are: a) assisted to recognize the physical risks associated with the sex trade and b) provided

psychosocial issues may also need to occur.
Under Contract #74-440, Contractor will provide outreach, support, research, service delivery model development
and provider training in order to reach sexually exploited youth in Contra Costa County, through March 31, 2013.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, CSECs will not have access to specialized outreach, education and job training
opportunities provided by Contractor’s program.
