Overview
Health care providers may be the first—and sometimes the only—professionals who interact with human trafficking survivors (NCBI/PMC; HEAL Trafficking). When you know what to look for, you can make all the difference for someone.
Learn how to identify potential trafficking survivors and offer compassionate care at a special CHA Hollywood Presbyterian session of Essential Human Trafficking Training in Health Care. Choose the day that works best for you. There is no cost to staff members.
We’ll start with a brief overview of these crimes and their health connections. You’ll then dive deeper into the specific health impacts of trafficking and learn about tools to help identify patients who may be affected. In addition, you’ll study the provider’s role in response and referrals. Together with colleagues, you’ll explore case studies and brainstorm policies and procedures that could be used in your own setting.
Human Trafficking: A Social and Racial Justice Issue
Through a range of learning methods, you’ll gain deeper insight into the social and racial justice aspects of this issue. While human trafficking crimes trap people of all genders, cultures, races and backgrounds, they unduly affect people of color, LGBTQI youth and other marginalized groups.
During the workshop, you’ll hear inclusive language and learn frameworks that will empower you to understand and take into account victims’ 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.
