Help Radical Empathy Save Lives at the JuST Conference with Groundbreaking VR Training

AUSTIN, Texas - Oct. 7, 2024 - PRLog -- Radical Empathy Education Foundation (REEF), the nonprofit organization behind the award-winning TRAPPED: A VR Detective Story, is raising funds to attend two critical events in October: the JuST Conference, a national event dedicated to combating juvenile sex trafficking, and the Houston School Safety Expo. The nonprofit uses cutting-edge Virtual Reality (VR) technology to train professionals and advocates—and they need your help to get there.

Virtual Reality: A New Frontier in Abuse Prevention

Radical Empathy's interactive VR experience, TRAPPED, is unlike any traditional training. It allows participants to step into the shoes of a trafficking victim and learn how predators exploit vulnerabilities. The training has already educated thousands of people, and now, they plan to bring this powerful tool to two major events: the JuST Conference, where law enforcement and policymakers gather to discuss strategies for juvenile sex trafficking prevention, and the Houston School Safety Expo, where school safety experts and educators will explore ways to protect students from trafficking and abuse.

By providing a 30-day free demo of TRAPPED through ArborXR, a mobile device management platform, Radical Empathy is making it easier than ever for organizations to integrate VR training into their work. The immersive format adds a powerful multimedia element, engaging users and ensuring the message stays with them long after the training ends.

Why Your Support Matters

Radical Empathy has launched a GoFundMe campaign (link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-save-lives-at-the-just-conference) to raise funds for both events. Your donation will cover travel and setup costs, allowing Radical Empathy to present this life-saving technology to key stakeholders in the fields of trafficking prevention and school safety. Without sufficient funding, Radical Empathy won't be able to attend, and the opportunity to educate frontline professionals on innovative, VR-based prevention could be lost.

Join the Movement: Bring Radical Empathy's VR Training to the Frontlines

Supporters can help Radical Empathy attend both the JuST Conference and the Houston School Safety Expo by contributing to the fundraiser. With the growing demand for multimedia-driven education, now is the perfect time to champion an innovative approach to trafficking prevention and school safety.

Every donation helps Radical Empathy reach those who need this training the most and ensures that more communities are equipped to fight trafficking and abuse.
