The Trafficking Assessment

This course presents a research-based, sequentially structured Trafficking Assessment which can be downloaded for use in your or others' work.  The design of the assessment serves two purposes: 

- The information to be gathered is crucial to the successful prosecution of the trafficking perpetrator by the U.S. Department of Justice. 

- The content and sequential design of the assessment seeks to promote cooperation and trust in adolescents who have been severely traumatized, sexually and physically assaulted, and stripped of their dignity and personal safety. 

It's Client-Centered

The research-based content in this course includes important client-centered perpsectives and dynamics, shared by hundreds of adolescent survivors of Sex Trafficking. 

- The content and sequential design of the assessment seeks to promote cooperation and trust in adolescents who have been severely traumatized, sexually and physically assaulted, and stripped of their dignity and personal safety. 

Knowlege of these dynamics is critical for the success of your clinical work with trafficking survivors. This course provides an actionable understanding of the 'first steps' following your initial encounter with the victim, and paves the way for all that follows.  Unique features:  

- The victims' conflicting emotions about 'breaking free' vs. remaining in a dangerous trafficking situation are often hard for clinicians to understand. Learn the 'why' these emotions occur. 

- The path of therapeutic interaction with trafficked youth differs significantly from that occurring in a normal office environment - in part due to the fact that many or most are homeless emancipated minors who must 'think for themselves' in the few areas of life over which they have discretion. 

- Further, as emancipated victims of a crime, these youth are guests in your office and are  there on their own volition. At that moment they are legally free to make independent decisions, which gives them a  measure of control.    

    

Why Is Behavioral Health Now Involved?

In the past 3 years, the U.S. Department of Justice has increased its national campaign to dismantle the organized crime rings in which Human Trafficking is a lucrative business.    

- At the local and state level, the initial priorities are to increase the general public's and healthcare providers' awareness of Human Trafficking activity, an understanding that it is a Federal Crime, and knowledge of what is needed to take appropriate action.  

- Interim priorities include (1) knowing how to conduct an effective Sex Trafficking assessment of victims in a sensitive and ethical manner, gathering information which is crucial to prosecution of the Human Trafficking perpetrator, and (2) knowing how to develop a supportive rather than a directive or controlling relationship with the emancipated minor victim.   

- Ultimately, the priorities are to facilitate the victim's safe escape from the Sex Trafficking situation; to assist the Department of Justice in successful prosecution of the trafficking perpetrator; and to obtain community and Federally assisted services for the victim which will promote recovery.
