Take our Human Trafficking Bootcamp....https://goafn.thinkific.com/courses/take/HTbootcamp/texts/29703512-course-overview
Vulnerable patients who are being trafficked by sex, labor, and possible organ harvesting are being cared for in hospitals and healthcare settings worldwide. Healthcare providers are often not aware of these crimes within their communities and lack comfort and knowledge in addressing the safety and referral of these patients for care and recovery.
