In this insightful episode, we explore how caregivers, educators, and guardians can recognize signs of exploitation and create safe environments for vulnerable individuals. From sudden behavioral changes to online red flags, we discuss the subtle indicators that something may be amiss.
Our guest shares expert advice on fostering open communication, teaching the difference between safe and unsafe interactions, and addressing the unique challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals. We also examine the importance of early education about boundaries, healthy relationships, and online safety to prevent exploitation before it begins.
Whether you're a parent, teacher, or advocate, this episode provides actionable steps to help you identify potential risks and empower those in your care.
