Training Options:
For Professionals (service providers, healthcare professionals, first responders, law enforcement, educators)
Human Trafficking – the underlying dynamics and scope of human trafficking are detailed with a focus on vulnerability factors, recruitment and control tactics, and victim identification, as well as a review of best practices for responding and reporting. Training participants will be equipped to recognize the indicators of human trafficking for the population they serve and understand the importance of a trauma-informed response.
Intersections – provides an examination of the intersections of past abuse, substance misuse, interpersonal/domestic violence and homelessness and their relationships to human trafficking.
