Most mid size to large communities have a variety of community based or non profit programs who help victims of crime, domestic violence or sexual violence. Most victims of sex trafficking can receive help and services from such programs. Most people just aren't aware of all that is available in their communities. The easiest thing any citizen can do is educate themselves on available community resources. A good place to start is your local homeless shelter or social services office (welfare department, WIC office or CPS even). Call and ask them if they have a resource guide or know where you can get one. States are starting to maintain databases of community services and programs that can be found online. Familiarize yourself about what's out there and try to spread the word however you can. Most people don't access services because they just don't know the services are there.
