This manual forms the basis for a training course for counselors-to-be working with trafficked youth. The manual is divided into different sessions, each dealing with a topic that is relevant for counseling trafficked youth. Each session describes in detail the activities to be conducted and all the materials needed transparencies for giving lectures, and handouts for additional reading materials for the participants. This manual is designed for a training course for ILO-IPEC – supported NGOs that work for trafficked youth, with the aim to integrate improved psychosocial counseling in their rehabilitation process of victims. However, the manual can be more generally used, by extracting sessions or as a whole, for different training courses on psychosocial counseling, as well as for different groups of trauma survivors, such as children withdrawn from other worst forms of child labor. It is written for training para-professionals and counselors for whom these issues are new.
