Overview
Join fellow health care professionals for an immersive human trafficking training experience that dives beyond the 101 of traditional workshops. Our facilitators will begin with a brief overview of human trafficking crimes and their health connections. You’ll then learn about the specific health impacts of trafficking, along with tools for identification and assessment including trauma-informed care principles, barriers to disclosure, screening tools and ways to handle documentation.
In addition, the workshop will cover the provider’s role in response and referrals. You’ll apply your knowledge through exploring case studies and brainstorm policies and procedures that could be implemented in your own setting.
Human Trafficking: A Social and Racial Justice Issue
Our workshop leaders seek to empower health professionals to understand this issue of social and racial justice. While human trafficking crimes ensnare people of all genders, cultures, races and backgrounds, they unduly impact people of color, LGBTQI youth and other marginalized groups.
Throughout the training, you’ll hear inclusive language and learn methods and processes that will enable you to understand and consider survivors’ well-being. You’ll also gain skills in assessing people across different backgrounds, inclusive of all skin types and pigments.
Who Should Attend?
Doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, social workers and health care administrators (reception, patient check-in and check-out), and other personnel who interact with patients. We also welcome community-based partners including nonprofit organizations, law enforcement personnel, colleges and universities, and anyone else who may benefit.
