Webinar Transcript

This document was developed by fellows of the Human Trafficking Leadership Academy Class 3 organized through the National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center and Coro Northern California. A team of allied professionals and survivor leaders worked together to respond to the following question: Using trauma-informed principles and survivor-informed practices, what strategies could reduce risk factors and increase protective factors within families that prevent the trafficking of minors? How can anti-trafficking efforts incorporate 2-generation and whole family approaches to programs and policies?

The fellowship is funded by the Office on Trafficking in Persons and the Office on Women’s Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The recommendations and content of this document are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of OTIP, OWH, or HHS.

Service Recommendations for Human Trafficking Survivors with Substance Use Disorders.pdfPDF

One of the primary benefits of looking at human trafficking as a public health issue is the emphasis on prevention: that is, looking at the systemic issues that cause people to be vulnerable to human trafficking in the first place. Upstream determinants, such as domestic violence, substance use, poverty, and immigration status, may put some individuals at a higher risk for trafficking than others. A public health approach to trafficking moves upstream to identify preventive measures that, when combined with downstream interventions, can work to decrease the number of individuals who experience trafficking.

In conjunction with faith-based organizations, the National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center hosted a 90-minute webinar that highlights emerging trends, case studies, and best practices for providing supportive and comprehensive services for individuals who have experienced trafficking.

Discussion Topics

• Multidisciplinary intersections specific to faith-based partnerships and outreach and how these intersections shape our response to human trafficking
• How faith-based entities can mobilize and partner with community-based organizations to proactively identify and provide outreach to populations at risk of trafficking
• Successful models that have been used to coordinate and establish a continuum of care for individuals who have experienced trafficking

This document was developed by fellows of the 2017 Human Trafficking Leadership Academy (HTLA) organized through the National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center and Coro Northern California. A team of six nongovernment service providers and six survivor leaders worked together to develop recommendations on how to enhance service provision to survivors of human trafficking or those at risk of human trafficking using trauma-informed practices and survivor-informed principles.
