To acknowledge World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, we’re excited to offer a guided experiential virtual event for survivors and advocates to alleviate anxiety, hypervigilance, and PTSD.

In partnership with the Emotional Health Institute (EHI), we are running a special online event on July 30, 2026, at 11:00 AM PST | 2:00 PM EST | 8:00 PM CET. Join Cedric Bertelli, founder of the Emotional Health Institute and co-developer of Emotional Resolution® (EmRes®)*, for an engaging and experiential introduction to the science of emotions.

Register here!

This free online presentation will explore how emotions are created, why some emotional reactions persist long after a difficult experience has passed, and how emotional patterns can be resolved naturally. The session will include:

• An introduction to the science of emotions and emotional well-being.
• An overview of Emotional Resolution® (EmRes®) and Self-EmRes®.
• A guided group experiential exercise allowing all participants to alleviate some anxiety, hypervigilance, or feeling like they’re living in survival mode.
• An opportunity for questions and discussion.

Event purpose: to provide participants with a practical understanding of how emotions are created, offer an introduction to Self-EmRes®, and experience a simple process that may support greater emotional well-being and resilience.

This event will be held online via Zoom. No prior experience is necessary. Just bring a pen and a piece of paper.

*EmRes® is currently being studied by researchers at UCLA, with preliminary findings showing significant reductions in anxiety and fear among healthcare professionals working in high-stress environments.

~ PAST EVENTS ~

To acknowledge Human Trafficking Prevention Month and National Human Trafficking Awareness Day, we featured five of our anti-trafficking team and partner leaders: Kristin Vaughn (Liluye Director of Survivor Affairs – U.S.), Brenna Wallace (Liluye Global Survivor Affairs Expert – Canada), Chylian Ify Azuh (Founder of FRMNET – Nigeria), Shandra Woworuntu (Founder CEO of Mentari – U.S., Caribbean, South Africa, and Indonesia), and Pallabi Ghosh (Founder of Impact and Dialogue Foundation – India).

This webinar focused on:

• Education: what it looks like in different schools, communities, and households in each presenter’s country, what gaps there are, how it could be improved, and what works and doesn’t.

• Prevention: how are organizations, authorities, and governments preventing trafficking in each presenter’s country, and what works and doesn’t.

• Engagement: what are some creative and/or effective ways that organizations can engage with the community and citizens to get involved in addressing and mitigating trafficking in each presenter’s country, how to motivate people to take more action (individually and collectively), and how can people get involved if they want to to make more impact.

Liluye´s Founder, Jill Langhus-Griffin, participated in the first annual, roundtable panel, Defending Men and Boys from Exploitation, along with Cranford Blackmon, Brenna Wallace, Andrea Smith, and Ena Lucia Mariaca Pacheco (January, 2023). The key topics included were: helping men and boys to feel safe and able to open up, where they can go for help, what true consent is, how societal views help to perpetuate generational cycles of abuse and violence and how to break those cycles, how to foster resilience in survivors, and what makes boys susceptible to violence.

A discussion on reintegrating trafficking survivors with our partner, Anxhela Bruci (from Empowerfull), joined by Julie Desai (a lawyer and human rights activist) and our Founder, Jill Langhus-Griffin. This recording was part of a series on human trafficking in 2022 and focuses on the experiences of two organizations supporting the reintegration process of survivors of human trafficking in Europe.

To wrap up National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month (2022), our two partners Shandra Woworuntu (Founder and CEO of Mentari), and Annalisa Gibbs (Founder and CEO of Eden’s Farm) joined our Founder, Jill Langhus-Griffin, for a special webinar discussing the 4P Paradigm of Anti Human Trafficking: Prevention, Protection, Prosecution and Partnership.
