Course Series: SAMHSA-funded MHTTC’s Human Trafficking and Trauma-Responsive, Healing-Centered Care
A learning opportunity for educators, professionals, and those who comprise school communities
The SAMHSA-funded South Southwest Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC) three-part series delves into human trafficking through an equity lens, considering it as one of several indicators of community vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities encompass housing shortages, limited mental health resources, inconsistent job opportunities, lack of accessible transportation, language barriers, and communities where residents may lack proper documentation.
The first session, "Human Trafficking and the Impact on School Communities," kicks off a three-part program. Its goal is to establish a foundation for recognizing human trafficking, delve into trauma-informed interventions for victims and survivors, and explore techniques for providing healing-centered care. Participants in these sessions will not only learn but also engage in pre- and post-learning activities, allowing them to reflect on and apply the presented concepts during the subsequent sessions of the series.
Registrations will be processed in numerical order as seats for the session are limited. To attend Sessions 2 and 3, participants must attend and complete Session 1, Human Trafficking and the Impact on School Communities.
