Enhanced Collaborative Model (ECM) human trafficking task forces are a prime example of how a wide spectrum of governmental and non-governmental agencies can work together to help bring traffickers to justice, help survivors heal, and raise education and awareness in communities. Sharing information across disciplines is vital to the success of each task force; however, it can be challenging to navigate the information sharing policies of each agency and balance the need for collaboration with the need to maintain legal, professional, and ethical confidentiality standards.
