CORE Court is Fort Bend County’s court for sexually exploited juveniles. The mission of the program is to empower adolescents who have become or are at risk of human trafficking by providing healthy mentoring and support, professional counseling and educational activities designed to assist them in reclaiming their personal power over their circumstances, themselves and their future. The CORE program consists of specialized interventions developed for adolescents who demonstrate high-risk sexual behaviors and/or are survivors of sexual abuse, sex trafficking/victimization, as well as sexual trauma. Youth participating in the program receive weekly counseling from trained therapists, which includes individual, group, and family intervention services. Treatment interventions incorporate trauma-sensitive care, empowering adolescents and their families with the skills to acknowledge traumatic life events, process thoughts about those experiences, manage unhealthy belief systems, as well as resolve personal feelings related to the trauma.
