📢 Advancing the Fight Against Human Trafficking with Trauma-Informed Practices! 💡
In collaboration with two incredible community agencies, Gulf Coast Center for Nonviolence and Domestic Abuse Family Shelter, we’ve explored:
✅ Success stories: Empowering survivors and streamlining service delivery.
⚠️ Pitfalls: Challenges faced in implementation and how to overcome them.
🎓 Lessons learned: Best practices for trauma-informed, culturally sensitive care.
We’re also excited to highlight a comprehensive guide designed for public health, behavioral health, healthcare, and social work professionals. This resource provides training to:
🔹 Use trauma-informed and survivor-informed approaches.
🔹 Assess adult clients and patients for human trafficking victimization or risk of trafficking.
🔹 Ensure compassionate and effective care while minimizing retraumatization.
The AHTST and its accompanying guide are more than tools—they are lifelines for survivors, fostering trust, safety, and empowerment. 🌟
🌍 Together, we’re building stronger, survivor-centered support systems that create lasting change.
