Goal
The goal of this educational activity is to support safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, equitable, and trauma-informed care. Individuals who have experienced Human Trafficking often go unidentified and/or professionals who encounter these individuals may not understand how to engage in survivor-centered practices. Specifically, LGBTQ+, male identifying victims, and individuals experiencing labor trafficking are underreported, underrepresented in services, and not embodied in trafficking conversations. Due to factors such as a lack of public awareness about the issue; the reluctance of many human trafficking survivors to identify themselves as experiencing trafficking; and extreme measures taken by exploiters to hide their crimes, many survivors go unidentified and are deprived of special care and intervention resources. Human Trafficking is a public health problem that has serious implications for the health and well-being of vulnerable individuals who come from all backgrounds, genders, nations, and economic levels. Youth have additional vulnerabilities that make them more susceptible to the grooming tactics of human traffickers. Since 2021 the One Mission Coalition has identified over 500 trafficked, exploited, or at-risk youth in Hampden County. Thus, the hope of this conference is to increase community awareness and provide professionals who encounter survivors with the new tools and skills to further this mission to incorporate LGBTQ+, male survivors, and labor trafficking victims to support them at any point in their journey.
Target Audience
This conference is designed for health care professionals, mental health counselors, advocates, law enforcement, DCF workers and school professionals. This course will provide you with tools and skills in recognizing and accessing appropriate resources to assist individuals who are susceptible and/or have experienced human trafficking.
Learning Objectives
