The Tennessee Counter-Trafficking Alliance (TCTA), formerly the Tennessee Anti-Slavery Alliance, ensures quality consistent human-trafficking focused services are provided statewide in the most effective and efficient way possible. TCTA advocates for systemic change and provides comprehensive trauma-informed aftercare to survivors of human trafficking anywhere in Tennessee.

The Tennessee Counter-Trafficking Alliance, a partnership between three Non-Governmental Organizations, is dedicated to and experienced in supporting the identification and recovery of human trafficking victims, as well as managing prevention and work-force training to major industries in the state. They manage all human trafficking referrals in their designated region, while providing on-the-ground comprehensive, specialized support for victims and their families. They ensure survivors receive medical and mental health support, safe housing, healing within survivor communities, substance abuse recovery, legal services, legislative assistance and job training, among other services. TCTA members also cooperate with law enforcement in stings, trainings and increase the likelihood of survivor cooperation and therefore of perpetrators being prevented from further exploitation.

TCTA Standards and Goals: All TCTA agencies provide dedicated housing for survivors of human trafficking; specialized, holistic wrap-around services for minors and adults; and 24-hour crisis response.

TCTA exists to:

• Establish a coordinated, state-wide referral process

• Provide on-the-ground comprehensive, specialized support for victims and their families

• Partner with stakeholders to create strategic system changes across local and state governments
