Human trafficking is a complex issue that can affect individuals across many different communities, and recognizing the signs is an important first step in responding effectively. This seminar will bring together professionals with experience in human trafficking prevention, law enforcement, counselling, and survivor support to help participants better understand how trafficking occurs, what warning signs to look for, and the barriers that can prevent victims from seeking help.

Participants will also learn practical, trauma-informed approaches to communication and response, with a focus on supporting individuals in a safe, respectful, and compassionate way. Through expert teaching, discussion, and real-world examples, attendees will gain greater confidence in recognizing possible trafficking situations, responding appropriately, and connecting individuals with helpful resources and supports.

Ideal for: Nurses • Physicians • Paramedics • Social Workers • Mental Health Professionals • Healthcare Educators • Students • Community Partners

Upon registration through our website, you will be contacted by Neuman Education with details and location through your email. Please, check your inbox and junk mail after registration.
