Description

Labor trafficking is a significant and often overlooked issue that profoundly affects victims’ physical and mental health. Due to these health effects, most individuals experiencing labor trafficking seek medical care while being exploited. Still, health professionals frequently lack the specialized training to recognize the signs and provide an appropriate response.

This advanced, case-based course is specifically designed for health professionals who want to elevate their ability to identify and respond to labor trafficking. You’ll gain hands-on experience with the PEARR Tool (Provide privacy, Educate, Ask, Respect, Respond), a proven framework for responding to trafficking in a trauma-informed, patient-centered way.

Throughout this course, you will work through real-life cases from HEAL’s Labor Trafficking Case Workbook, a complimentary resource to all participants. This workbook contains detailed, advanced case studies that allow you to apply what you’ve learned and refine your skills in real-world scenarios.

This course is not just an introduction to labor trafficking; it’s an in-depth, hands-on opportunity to enhance your ability to recognize the signs of labor trafficking and provide trauma-informed care. Whether you’re new to trafficking education or looking to take your expertise to the next level, this course will empower you to make a lasting difference in the lives of those impacted by labor trafficking.

• Practical, advanced training on labor trafficking identification and response
