Human Trafficking & Implications for Professional Counseling

With over 20.9 million individuals sold for sex or labor every year, modern-day slavery (aka human trafficking) is the world’s second largest criminal industry. It’s also the fastest growing, making it one of the top social justice issues of our time.

Clinical and school counselors have an important role to play in the identification, referral, and management of the issues associated with human trafficking.

At the completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Understand the awareness and prevention elements relative to human trafficking, its impact on victims, and the necessary supports to assist individuals in their movement toward being survivors and thrivers.
2. Identify warning signs, screening methods, and counseling approaches (clinical, school, and supervision) and interventions that are appropriate with human trafficking survivors.
3. Utilize provided resources for working with this population.
4. Identify ways counselors can be social justice advocates against the trafficking of people.
