Overview

Join fellow health care professionals for an immersive learning experience that dives beyond the 101 of traditional workshops. This event is facilitated by Arizona State University Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation and HASC.

The workshop will begin with a brief overview of human trafficking and its health connections. Then, participants will learn about the specific health impacts of trafficking and tools for identifying and assessing cases. These tools include trauma-informed care principles, removing barriers to disclosure, screening tools and ways to handle documentation. In addition, our facilitators will cover the provider’s role in response and referrals. Attendees will have the chance to apply their knowledge with peers through reviewing case studies, and to brainstorm policies and procedures that could be implemented in their own settings.

The workshop will use a variety of interactive learner-centric teaching and learning methods to engage attendees in diverse activities. Its goal is to help health professionals understand this issue of social justice and that human trafficking does not single out victims by gender, culture, race or other differences. Throughout the training, facilitators will use inclusive language and teach methods and processes that enable attendees to understand and take survivors’ well-being into account, and to gain assessment skills inclusive of all skin types and pigments.
