Event Description

This activity will be an on-demand online learning course for healthcare practitioners to receive CME and Contact Hours credit. The course will cover sex trafficking as well as labor trafficking instances, along with what indicators warrant additional questioning and separation from victims' alleged family/friends in a practice situation. Covering Social Determinants of Health in the context of trafficking situations will provide needed context to separate stereotypes from realistic trafficking situations. This course will help practitioners understand what trauma-informed responses look like and provide local as well as national options for reporting human trafficking.

Objectives

  1. Identify potential victims of human trafficking within healthcare settings based on observable indicators and patient interactions.
  2. Analyze how Social Determinants of Health—including minority status (racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, etc.) and substance use—contribute to an individual's vulnerability to human trafficking.
  3. Demonstrate the principles of Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) when communicating with individuals who may be victims of human trafficking.
  4. Apply appropriate reporting protocols for healthcare professionals, including: Distinguishing between general reporting procedures when victims do not consent to assistance. Implementing assistance options when victims consent to receiving help within a healthcare practice setting.
