Announcements, research publications, educational articles, events, and public awareness resources from PRAI — keeping our community informed and engaged.
PRAI is proud to announce its official incorporation as a Canadian non-profit organization. This milestone marks the beginning of our journey to build a coordinated, survivor-centered response to exploitation and trauma across Canada.
With incorporation complete, PRAI has formally launched its pilot phase — a critical period of organizational development focused on building governance infrastructure, establishing strategic partnerships, and laying the groundwork for comprehensive program delivery.
PRAI is actively recruiting founding Board of Directors members with expertise in governance, finance, research, social services, communications, and public policy. Board members will play a critical role in shaping the strategic direction of the organization.
January 11 marks National Human Trafficking Awareness Day in Canada. PRAI recognizes this important day by reaffirming our commitment to survivor-centered advocacy, evidence-informed prevention, and systemic change that protects vulnerable individuals across the country.
As part of our pilot phase development, PRAI is building a formal research partnership framework to guide collaboration with academic institutions, government agencies, and community organizations. We welcome inquiries from researchers whose work aligns with our mission.
Trauma-informed practice is central to everything PRAI does. This educational resource introduces the core principles of trauma-informed care and explains why they are essential for anyone working with survivors of exploitation, trafficking, and related forms of victimization.
Awareness is one of the most powerful tools in preventing exploitation. This resource outlines key indicators of human trafficking and exploitation, and provides guidance on how to respond safely and effectively when you are concerned about someone's safety.
The term "survivor-centered" is widely used — but what does it actually mean in practice? This article explores the principles, practices, and organizational commitments that define a genuinely survivor-centered approach to advocacy, service delivery, and research.
Individual support is essential — but lasting change requires transforming the systems that create and perpetuate vulnerability. This piece explores the role of systems advocacy in addressing the root causes of exploitation and trauma, and why it is central to PRAI's mission.
PRAI is actively building its network of strategic partners across social services, healthcare, legal, government, education, and community sectors. If your organization shares our commitment to survivor-centered, trauma-informed practice, we invite you to connect with us.
