Dear John,
Human trafficking is a human rights violation that affects millions of people worldwide. As healthcare workers, employers, policy leaders, and advocates, we all play a role in prevention and intervention efforts to help improve health and safety outcomes for survivors. By expanding our knowledge and deepening our understanding during Human Trafficking Prevention Month, we can support survivors in January and throughout the year.
Join us for our upcoming free webinars: |
 |
Tomorrow, January 28, we will have a webinar on Building Warm Handoffs and Consistent Support for Survivors from advocates to legal services providers to healthcare providers – and anyone who serves survivors.
And on January 29, we will hold a webinar for health centers on the Economic and Health Needs of Survivors of Human Trafficking.
You can also access some of our resources on human trafficking:
- Economic Empowerment of Trafficking Survivors Self-Paced Online Course
For advocates, workforce development partners, and employers, this course will deepen your understanding of what helps survivors grow, heal, and thrive through exploring the Five Tiers of Economic Empowerment and Five Guiding Principles.
- Community Resource Mapping Toolkit: Supporting the Needs of Survivors
For any organization working with survivors of human trafficking, this toolkit will help you identify internal resources and capacity to support survivors, as well as possible partnerships or collaborations outside your organization.
- Hidden Risks: Human Trafficking and Youth with Disabilities
This educational brief which includes recommendations for health center staff, explains how and why youth with disabilities are at an increased risk of human trafficking and how to support them.
