Social Systems Consulting LLC is a specialized consulting firm focused on anti-trafficking work, led by founder Megan Lundstrom, a survivor, researcher, and national advocate. The organization operates through three core pillars of expertise: exposure, education, and experience.
- “Exposure” reflects the firm’s commitment to elevating lived experience; Lundstrom’s personal history informs every aspect of her work, bringing depth, authenticity, and insight to her consulting.
- “Education” represents her academic foundation, with advanced training in sociology, finance, and expert witness preparation.
- “Experience” encompasses over a decade of leadership roles, national presentations, and advisory positions in the anti-trafficking field.
They also produce original publications designed to expand understanding of trafficking dynamics and support survivor success. One of its flagship resources is the Survivor’s Guide to Money (SGTM), a financial wellness curriculum created specifically for survivors of commercial sexual exploitation. Social Systems Consulting also publishes “Cultic Theory” materials, which analyze how trafficking mirrors cultic systems of power, influence, and control.
Beyond research and policy, Social Systems Consulting is grounded in trauma-informed practice and survivor leadership. Through public speaking, training, blog content, and collaborative projects, the firm advocates for approaches that center survivor expertise, challenge misconceptions, and improve systemic responses to trafficking. Its mission is to transform how communities, organizations, and policymakers understand trafficking—and how they act—by combining rigorous analysis with lived experience and compassionate advocacy.
