Training and Technical Assistance
Description of project / program
Individuals impacted by human trafficking often remain hidden and out-of-sight but there are times when they may need to access medical services, seek community services or use public transportation. Unfortunately, without training, professionals working in hospitals, clinics, schools, and transit centers may not recognize the signs and indicators of human trafficking.
Training professionals and service industry workers is key to helping identify and assist individuals who are experiencing human trafficking.
We offer a professional development training on Human Trafficking for professionals including:
- Medical Professionals
- Transportation Operators
- School staff including teachers, counselors and administrative staff
- Law Enforcement officers and administrative staff
- Attorneys
- Community-based organization staff
