A Two-Part Webinar Series for Health, Social Service, and Advocacy Providers
March 19, 2018 and March 26, 2018
Description:
Health care settings are key to the provision of trauma-sensitive identification and response for survivors of human trafficking. This two-part webinar series is intended to strengthen the ability of healthcare providers, mental health providers, social workers, legal professionals, and survivor advocates to identify and respond to at-risk and affected individuals, and to work collaboratively both within and beyond the health care setting, using principles of trauma-informed care on both individual and institutional/system levels.
Webinar 1 will provide an overview of human trafficking, offer tools for identifying survivors in healthcare settings, discuss strategies for responding to disclosure, and introduce principles of trauma-informed response. Webinar 2 will provide insights about systems impacting survivors – focusing on legal, mental health, and social services, with emphasis on developing strategies for identifying and building inter-professional networks across these systems.
Learning Objectives:

- Describe the scope, presentation(s), and health effects of human trafficking
