From the site:
Description: Human trafficking has severe adverse effects on the health, well-being, and human rights of millions of vulnerable adults and young people in the United States and globally. Health professionals can play a significant role in early intervention of this problem and reducing the profound suffering it causes. This institute will increase understanding of the dimensions of labor and sex trafficking and discuss specific action steps that health professionals can take to address the problem. The webinar will provide a brief overview of the problem from a public health, clinical, and human rights perspective; explain how clinicians can identify and respond; and illustrate how forging community and systems partnerships build more effective local responses. Other more in-depth webinars will be offered later.
Learning Objectives:
- Define labor and sex trafficking of adults and youth and the role of health care and public health professionals in responding to this human rights abuse.
- Identify indicators for trafficking among patients, including risk factors, signs, and symptoms.
- Describe three specific approaches that health professionals can take to respond to potentially trafficked patients and to develop effective, collaborative prevention and community response strategies to labor and sex trafficking of adults and youth.
