Course Description:

Over the past few years and correlated to the overwhelming number of women who have participated in the #MeToo movement, there has been renewed attention to issues of sexual violence, which remains pervasive in our culture. This groundswell has created a refreshed platform for addressing gaps in service provider/clinician training for sexual assault response.

While statistics from the National Sexual Violence Resource Center show that 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men in the U.S. will face sexual assault at some point in their lifetime, very few counseling, social work and other social science educational programs have specific courses designed for training sexual assault response. Instead, service providers/clinicians learn this “on the job”; and strive to learn and grow to grow based on experiences.

During this interactive workshop, we discuss the basics of sexual assault and participants will learn to provide an adequate, timely and holistic response to sexual assault, while addressing barriers to disclosing and seeking services and learning about community resources available to those who have experienced sexual assault.

Course Description:

.Often discussed as separate issues, it is crucial to recognize the significant overlap of domestic violence and human trafficking. Both issues are fraught with misunderstandings in mainstream discourse. Victim blaming, rescuing, and white saviorism often get in the way of understanding the importance of survivors' voice, choice, safety, and healing. This interactive training will uncover the dynamics of intimate partner trafficking and its connection to other forms of human trafficking; help participants identify red flags and warning signs for intimate partner trafficking, and gain resources and tools for assessing and safely reporting intimate partner human trafficking.

Course Description:

Pornography undoubtedly perpetuates the commercial sexual exploitation of women and girls in America. However, the exact role it plays linking the two remains a hotly contested topic. Commonly known in the anti-trafficking field that 80 percent of survivors report that their customers showed them pornography to illustrate the kinds of sexual acts they want performed. We also know that traffickers will subject victims to porn to retain control, maximize profits and demean them. This workshop will examine pornography, its usage and how everyday usage impacts the arena of human trafficking

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.
