Heal Trafficking Train The Trainer Academy (October 23-24, 2025)
The majority of trafficking victims have contact with a health professional while being trafficked. Yet, most health professionals have never been educated about trafficking. To train millions of practicing clinicians and trainees, more trainers, with content knowledge on human trafficking and teaching skills, are needed.

Description
Course Overview:
The majority of trafficking survivors interact with health professionals while being trafficked. Yet, most providers have never been trained to recognize or respond to human trafficking. To change that, we need more professionals who not only understand trafficking, but are also equipped to teach others.
HEAL Trafficking’s Train the Trainer Academy was created to help fill this gap. Grounded in public health and trauma-informed approaches, the Academy equips health and allied professionals with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to deliver meaningful, survivor-centered training in their own communities and settings.
The course is based on a Train the Trainer model, which means we focus on both what you need to know and how to effectively teach it. You’ll build a strong foundation in trafficking-related content and gain practical strategies for delivering inclusive, engaging education to diverse learners.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for health care providers, public health professionals, behavioral health practitioners, social workers, educators, and others interested in advancing anti-trafficking education. While the content is presented through a health care lens, the Academy is open to participants across disciplines and sectors.
What to Expect
The Academy includes:
- A digital primer to help you prepare and reflect
- Two live, virtual training days featuring interactive workshops, small group collaboration, case discussions, and skill-building activities
- A digital workbook with curated resources to enhance your knowledge and training skills
- A group training presentation project, where you’ll apply what you’ve learned and receive feedback from faculty and peers
- Sessions led by a team of expert instructors and lived experience leaders, including a special alumni panel
- Opportunities to build connections across disciplines and join a growing network of anti-trafficking educators
Course Learning Objectives:
By the end of the Academy, you will be able to:
- Discuss core concepts related to human trafficking, including key definitions, relevant risk factors, and the role of healthcare providers in prevention and response
- Apply trauma-informed, survivor-centered approaches when educating others about human trafficking
- Use foundational strategies for effective, engaging, and inclusive teaching
- Develop a group training presentation on a key human trafficking topic, incorporating real-time feedback and peer support
- Deliver introductory human trafficking trainings tailored to their audience
