Together with partners around the world, she is part of a global network to connect resources and assist local and international survivors in rebuilding their lives. Phelps mentors young survivors who have experienced sexual exploitation, and is building a searchable database to connect survivors and their mentors to resources around the world. Her organization NAIOC, the National Alliance to Improve Outcomes for CSEC (Commercially Sexually Exploited Children), works with social workers and police officers on the local level, training them to effectively communicate with minor sex trafficking victims.

Carissa has been using her talents and to advocate create awareness and change laws around sexually exploited children. She has been guest on radio and television shows including “KTLA”, ” KALW” and AOL”, and “The Huffington Post”.
