Host Hospitals Needed: Orange County and Central Coast

HASC is still seeking host hospitals for workshops in the Orange County and Central Coast areas. If interested, please fill out the host form by Dec. 15.

Workshop Overview

Join fellow health care professionals for an immersive human trafficking learning experience that dives beyond the 101 of traditional workshops. Our facilitators will begin with a brief overview of these 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 will have the chance to apply your knowledge with peers through exploring case studies, as well as brainstorming policies and procedures that might be implemented in your own setting.

Human Trafficking: A Social and Racial Justice Issue

Our workshop leaders will use a variety of interactive learner-centric teaching and learning methods to engage learners. They seek to help health professionals understand this issue of social and racial justice. While human trafficking crimes ensnare people of all genders, cultures, races and backgrounds, they disproportionately affect people of color, LGBTQI youth and other marginalized groups.

Throughout the training, you’ll hear inclusive language and learn methods and processes 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?

This workshop is geared toward doctors, nurses, nurse practitioners, social workers, health care administrators (reception, patient check-in and check-out), community-based organizations and law enforcement officials. We encourage hospitals to share this opportunity with community partners such as law enforcement, clinics/neighboring hospitals, university/academic partners, nonprofit organizations and anyone else who may benefit.

Program Details

Please view the following tabs for more details.

Following this course, you’ll be able to:

  • Recognize the red flags of human trafficking in a clinical or community setting. 
  • Apply professional, ethical, caring, trauma-informed and sensitive approaches when working with trafficking victims and survivors. 
  • Advocate for those who have endured trafficking by assisting them in getting needed services and resources. 
  • Develop skills in identifying trafficking victims and survivors by knowing what to look for, what questions to ask and how to create a place of safety. 
  • Understand how health care professionals make decisions in human trafficking cases, and brainstorm ways to make these decisions.

Speakers

Samantha L. Calvin, PhD(c), MHI, MBA

An anti-trafficking advocate and leader in Arizona and the United States, Samantha has used education and training to debunk the myths around human trafficking. She is active in community-focused work and research to understand how the issue of human trafficking is evolving. 

Over the past ten years with Arizona State University’s (ASU) Edson College of Nursing and Innovation, Samantha developed the Edson Human Trafficking Awareness Program, which she currently oversees. This program focuses on helping health care providers and community members to become more aware of what human trafficking looks like, ask better questions when working with potential victims and survivors, and know what resources to provide. Currently, Samantha is expanding this work to include a program for K-12 educators.

She has also served as a consultant for the U.S. Department of Justice. Samantha regularly speaks at ground rounds, conferences and panels throughout Arizona.
