  01/12/2026
  January is National Human Trafficking Awareness Month, and the January 2026 theme emphasizes a holistic approach to prevention—connecting trafficking to other forms of violence and social vulnerabilities, while recognizing how technology, economic factors, and community resilience can either increase risk or help disrupt exploitation. On Maryland’s Eastern Shore, traffickers often take advantage of the region’s proximity to major metropolitan areas and three international airports, its location along a heavily traveled East Coast highway corridor, and the steady flow of visitors and seasonal workers tied to hospitality, farming, and fishing. Throughout the month, For All Seasons will lead a series of free training sessions and community education efforts across the Mid-Shore to help residents and professionals recognize red flags, strengthen online safety, and learn how to report concerns and connect people to support.
