The Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking (LCHT) is committed to combating human trafficking at a local and global level through community-based research; awareness and education; leadership development; and collaborations. Our vision is to develop sustainable efforts to end human trafficking by establishing community support mechanisms and serving as a catalyst for social change.

Responding to the nascent anti-trafficking efforts in the Rocky Mountain region, initially LCHT focused efforts on training "first-responders" who encounter victims of trafficking, building the capacity of organizations that serve victims and work to combat human trafficking, and filling information gaps through community-based research and community-awareness events. Today, LCHT is a key player in the western anti-trafficking movement having trained nearly 10,000 professionals and community members.
