In this online training, we will discuss theoretical and conceptual frameworks that offer a range of perspectives on human trafficking that depends on the understanding of this complex social problem. We will examine the ecological and intersectionality perspective as it ties together poverty, gender, prostitution, undocumented workers, and unpaid migrant workers. Finally, we will review case studies based on real trafficking cases worked by social workers and law enforcement along with the ethical implications.
Upon completion of training, participants will be able to:
- Define human trafficking and differentiate between sex trafficking, forced labor, and domestic servitude.
- Recognize key indicators of trafficking and assess potential victim scenarios through a trauma-informed lens.
- Examine the role of substance use in trafficking and how drugs are weaponized to recruit and control victims.
- Identify high-risk populations and understand psychological barriers to escape, including trauma bonding and dependency.
- Explore ethical responsibilities and intervention strategies for identifying, supporting, and referring victims.
This course qualifies for 1.25 hours of Ethics, Evidence-Based, and General Skill Building training.
