On April 12-13, cenet staff traveled to Chicago, IL to join fellow sponsors Greenheart Exchange and Spirit Cultural Exchange for training and networking at the Midwest Safety Summit.

The Summit kicked off at the Greenheart office with an advocacy update from Michael McCarry, former Executive Director of the Alliance for International Exchange, followed by a networking reception. Day two included Psychological First Aid presented by the Chicago Red Cross, sponsor presentations on safety best practices, an anti-trafficking workshop led by a local expert, and break-out sessions regarding various safety and support topics.

This was the fourth gathering of Midwest sponsors since 2014.
