Maryland has one of the highest rates of domestic human trafficking in the nation, according to the National Human Trafficking Hotline. The Eastern Shore is not immune. In an effort to educate our community and to bring awareness to Human Trafficking, we are offering a series of presentations across the five Mid-Shore counties. The presentations are free and open to professionals working with the issue of human trafficking, such as social workers, healthcare workers, and law enforcement. Please join Katharine Petzold, Anti-Human Trafficking Program Coordinator at For All Seasons, and Cara Rose, Special Agent with Homeland Security Investigations to learn about human trafficking, its prevalence in our community, and how to recognize its red flags. Registration is free, and limited. 3 CEU’s are available for $25 through Salisbury University - School of Social Work Office of Professional and Continuing Education.

For All Seasons has grown over the past several years to accommodate the mental health needs of the Mid Shore. The new branding reflects the growth and change at the agency and strengthens the message brought to the community of help, hope, and healing.

Due to a growing demand for mental health services in the region, For All Seasons has opened two new offices this fall in Easton and Stevensville on the Mid Shore.

Throughout the year, For All Seasons brings awareness to the community about such issues as suicide, sexual assault, trauma, human trafficking, and mental health needs. To request Mental Health First Aid training through the For All Seasons Center for Learning, contact Katie Pittsinger at 410-822-1018, email kpittsinger@forallseasonsinc.org.
