Human Trafficking featuring Jen Spry

Thursday, January 26, 2017

Jen Spry appeared to be happy, but secrets from her childhood haunted her. It was through a life changing event that she finally stopped running from her past. Bravely, she decided to face her childhood, and in doing so she became determined to prevent her childhood experience from happening to other children. Today, Jen has dedicated her life to protecting children through her work in training others how to identify and respond to victims. By breaking the silence, she has found healing and restoration for her life. Today, she has found her purpose and her passion.

She is a voice for the children who cry in silence.

Join us in listening to Jen Spry speak on this important topic at Stony Brook School of Social Welfare. The talk will be held on Thursday, January 26, from 12:oo pm – 2:00 pm at the Health Sciences Center, level 3, lecture hall 5.

Jen Spry is a Registered Nurse specializing as a Forensic Nurse Examiner. In human trafficking, she works as an adviser and national speaker. In 2014, she was selected to be a member of Shared Hope‘s JuST Council; this team provides innovative work on developing policies for legislation. Jen shares her personal experience to give insight into the mind of a child sex trafficking victim. She has dedicated her life and career to fight for the protection of children. Her passion is stirring and her message is inspiring. In addition to her work in human trafficking, she is also a successful business woman who owns 3 US Patents combined with a registered trademark and logo.

By sharing her personal story of child exploitation, she is equipping advocates, social workers, medical professionals, and law enforcement officials with the tools needed to foster the trust of vulnerable victims in order to provide medical care, interventions, safety, and restoration.
