Professional school counselors in Texas responded to a questionnaire about training received and their needs concerning preparedness to identify and work with youth exposed to child sex trafficking (CST). The study utilized a convergent parallel mixed methods design. Quantitative results indicated many participants did not find that their graduate degree program prepared them to work with CST and less than half felt their school and/or district provided adequate training opportunities. In addition thematic analysis revealed two themes characterizing Texas school counselors' needs to identify and work with CST: (a) concerning preparedness: "so much going on" and (b) "specific training": a comprehensive review of CST. This article concludes with implications and recommendations for practice and future research
