CE Course Description
Human trafficking is a public health concern. All healthcare providers have a duty to be able to recognize and intervene if someone is being trafficked. Healthcare agencies should have protocols specifically addressing human trafficking. The focus of this training will be on youth and adults in the United States health care settings. Definitions of human trafficking will be explored, as well as information on how to identify indicators of exploitation. Trauma-informed clinical treatment interventions will be provided. A review of how law enforcement should be involved will take place by understanding state-level legal mandates for reporting human trafficking. Participants will be presented with how to access national and local resources for assistance if an individual is identified as someone impacted by human trafficking.
