CMDA Atlanta is holding a city wide event addressing the crisis and growing problem of Human Trafficking here in Atlanta.  Particularly we will be addressing the health consequences around this issue, and also how health professionals can get actively engaged. 

Our guest for the evening will be Kaffie McCullough.

Kaffie McCullough has spent her career helping better the lives of youth. As campaign director for the Juvenile Justice Fund’s A Future. Not A Past., McCullough oversees the statewide campaign to stop the prostitution of children in Georgia.

Before joining the campaign, McCullough served as project director for a federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention grant that supported the establishment of a model program for the treatment of commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) victims in Fulton County and the City of Atlanta. As a speaker, she has leant her insight and expertise in CSE, victim services and placement to a multitude of groups.

McCullough is also the founder and past executive director of GOAL, a nonprofit organization that provides programming for middle school girls. During the course of her leadership at GOAL, more than 1,000 middle school girls received support for the development of their own sense of competence and confidence.

Earlier in her career, McCullough was a psychotherapist in private practice for 10 years, as well as a high school teacher and business owner.
