Human trafficking, otherwise
known as modern day slavery, is thought to have more than 40 million victims
today. There has been a resurgence in awareness and counter trafficking interventions
in the last several years both domestically in the US as well as globally. Now
more than ever, the health care community is in a perfect position to
recognizing this as a health care issue, being aware of the data informing the
identification of and services provided to those being trafficked as well as
survivors of human trafficking.
Human trafficking is an
important global health issue of our time and there have been many calls for
more involvement by health professionals in services and research. This course
will address the identifying signs and symptoms of human trafficking,
interfacing with law enforcement, child
protective services, shelter staff, substance abuse and addiction services and
forensic examiners; and handling the spiritual needs of victims of human
trafficking.
This course is $40 per credit hour, or $400 for all 12 credit hours.
