Public transit employees are strategically positioned to combat human trafficking in the course of their everyday jobs. While carrying out everyday duties, following routes and routines and interacting with passengers, they can be a key touchpoint for reaching vulnerable populations for prevention, identification and intervention.

• Resources for taking action at home and in their communities.
• Access to free, industry-specific anti-trafficking resources.

The session will focus on mindfulness, self-awareness, and resilience. In this session, participants will explore practical techniques to manage daily stress during high pressure work, enhance emotional regulation in reaction to unruly riders, and cultivate mental clarity while navigating the challenges of demanding roles. Through guided exercises, group discussions, and real-world applications, attendees will learn how to:

• Apply brief mindfulness techniques and strategies to stay calm and focused under pressure.
• Increase self-awareness to improve communication and interactions with passengers and teammates.
• Build resilience to help adapt to challenges and maintain well-being over time.
