We will dissect case examples and offer solutions to better equip our leaders, advocates, and providers to serve their community. This program is a must for a wide range of people and professionals in the community who encounter sex and labor trafficking, including non-profit agencies, justice system representatives, health care professionals, advocates, faith communities, and anyone who wishes to understand more about the needs facing foreign-born trafficking survivors.
