Human trafficking is a human rights issue!

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. fought for a world where every person’s dignity, freedom, and humanity were protected.
Today, those same principles call us to confront human trafficking — a violation of basic human rights that strips individuals of autonomy, safety, and freedom through force, fraud, and coercion.

At The Turning Point, we believe honoring Dr. King’s legacy means standing against modern forms of injustice, educating our community, and supporting survivors with dignity and compassion.

Human rights are not optional.
Freedom is not conditional.
Justice requires action.

Stalking isn’t about romance — it’s about control!

Stalking is a pattern of repeated, unwanted behaviors that cause fear, emotional distress, or disruption to someone’s life.
It can include:
• Repeated unwanted calls or messages
• Showing up uninvited
• Monitoring someone’s location or online activity
• Ignoring clear boundaries

Stalking often escalates over time — which is why early awareness is critical. At The Turning Point, we work to educate our community, support survivors, and prevent harm before it escalates.

Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose work reminds us that justice, dignity, and human rights belong to everyone.

At The Turning Point, our mission to prevent violence and support survivors is deeply rooted in these same values — standing against injustice and working toward a safer, more compassionate community.

📌 Office Closure Notice
The Turning Point offices will be closed Monday, January 19, 2026, in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Our offices will reopen on Tuesday, January 20, 2026.

📞 Support Is Still Available

Justice doesn’t pause — and neither does support.

They noticed warning signs early — but doubted themselves. Trusting your instincts is a form of protection. You don’t need proof to ask for support.

If something feels off — it probably is.

Survivors of human trafficking and stalking often say they noticed warning signs early — but doubted themselves or felt pressure to ignore what they were feeling.

Your instincts are not random. They are your mind and body recognizing patterns meant to keep you safe.

At The Turning Point, we believe prevention starts with trusting yourself and knowing you deserve support — even when you don’t have all the answers yet.

📌 You don’t need proof to ask questions
📌 You’re not overreacting
📌 Help is available

🚩 Warning signs are often subtle — but patterns matter!
Human trafficking and stalking don’t always look extreme at first. Often, they begin with behaviors that are dismissed or normalized.

🚩 Sudden changes in behavior
🚩 Someone monitoring communication or location
🚩 Repeated unwanted contact
🚩 Fear, anxiety, or loss of independence

Recognizing these signs early can prevent escalation and save lives. At The Turning Point, education is a key part of prevention — because informed communities protect one another. Save this post. Share it with someone who needs to know.

🚫 Myth: Human trafficking always involves kidnapping.

✅ Fact: Most human trafficking cases involve manipulation, grooming, and coercion—often by someone the victim already knows.

At The Turning Point, we know that education is prevention. When communities understand what trafficking really looks like, we can intervene earlier and protect lives.
