Human Trafficking Training for Education Professionals - EDU-X700U
Course Description
Identify the Potential Signs of Human Trafficking in the Education System Using a Trauma-Informed Approach
Human trafficking is a modern form of slavery involving the use of force, fraud, or coercion to induce an individual to perform labor or commercial sex acts. Many underage victims of human trafficking are students in the American school system. Schools are perhaps the best positioned to identify and report suspected trafficking and connect affected students to critical services. This course trains existing and future school community members (educators, counselors, nurses) about the phenomenon of human trafficking, how to recognize red flags and risk factors associated with trafficking, and provide safe and appropriate referrals for individuals who are at risk of, or are & being, trafficked.
