Human trafficking awareness training expands in Tennessee schools

Tennessee has a new law requiring K-12 students to receive instruction on child trafficking awareness and prevention. Supporters said the goal is to help students recognize exploitation, grooming and unsafe situations, and to know where to get help. Mary Trapnell, founder and executive director of the Nashville Anti-Human Trafficking Coalition , said her group focuses on "Rescue, Restore, Recognize and Resource." She met with lawmakers who introduced the bill, which now applies to all schools in the state. With a state grant, her group first launched the Educate to Recognize program for students in Rutherford County. "The county school board voted and unanimously agreed for NAHT to be the agency that would come in and roll that module out and tackle this in all of the 52 schools representing about 57,000 students and families," Trapnell explained. She noted subsequent meetings with lawmakers from all 95 counties showed broad support for stronger prevention education. In 2025, Tennessee law enforcement identified more than 100 human trafficking arrests, according to the most recent statistical report from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Trapnell added her group is incredibly grateful to help inform Tennessee's students, families and communities under the new law, which took effect
