About the Course:
Health care personnel are on the front lines of the fight against human trafficking. Nurses and other health care personnel must be alert to the often-overlooked signs of trafficking in their patients and become anti-trafficking advocates for patients and on a systems level. This course provides a sensitive review of the issue of abuse in human trafficking and how it affects patients and their families. The course presents an introduction into this complex crime, focusing on sex and labor trafficking, the common signs, symptoms, and conditions that occur in people who have been trafficked, and insights into the facts surrounding human trafficking and relevant health risks for individuals. Care of these individuals is as unique as the persons themselves. Research on the needs and common patterns of symptoms makes it possible to outline recommendations for the prevention and identification of trafficking and help healthcare professionals identify the interventions needed to care for these individuals. Additionally, the course lists national resources that provide vital services to patients who have been trafficked and makes recommendations for patient and staff safety when addressing these potentially volatile scenarios.
Learning Outcomes:
