Co-sponsored by HEAL Trafficking

October 1-2, 2022

A two-day virtual workshop featuring high interactivity with faculty and fellow trainers.

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.

This academy will equip public health and healthcare educators with the content knowledge and teaching skills to train health professionals in their communities to respond to human trafficking. Trainers who attend this workshop will learn to train on the “Core Competencies for Human Trafficking Response in Health Care and Behavioral Health Systems” established in February 2021 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Course director, Dr. Hanni Stoklosa, is one of the primary authors of this document.
