Course Description:

The prevalence of human trafficking has reached alarming levels in the United States. To address this widespread crisis, individuals licensed or registered by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA); e.g., social workers, nurses, and professional counselors all have a new continuing educational requirement which must be met when seeking initial or renewal of an individual’s licensure or registration. This presentation will address how each of us has a role in detecting and identifying suspected victims of human trafficking. The presentation will use a case-based approach to encourage appropriate language, a trauma sensitive approach, and working together as partners to prevent further victimization.
