Human Trafficking: Shooting Our Wounded and How to Stop
August 20, 2019, 10:00 a.m. MDT
Human trafficking is modern-day slavery and the human rights issue of our lifetime, affecting the vulnerable, poor, and oppressed around the world. In this FREE webinar, Dr. Celia Williamson, director of the Human Trafficking and Social Justice Institute at the University of Toledo, will give an overview of trafficking in the U.S. and around the world, including the process of trafficking, indicators to identify victims and traffickers, and how to report it. Rather than continuing to “shoot the wounded” with quick fixes or less-than-best practices, Dr. Williamson advocates for meaningful individual- and system-level interventions interrupt this practice, create collective change, and transform our Rescue and Restore paradigm to a Human Rights paradigm.
Journal Club: Child Sexual Abuse, Disclosure, and PTSD: Safer Responses to Disclosure
This webinar, presented by Dr. Jill McTavish and Dr. Harriet MacMillan of McMaster University, highlights their comprehensive review from the June 2019 issue of Child Abuse and Neglect: The International Journal of the research on the relationship between child sexual abuse (CSA) disclosure patterns and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Given the importance of safe responses to CSA disclosure, this webinar also discusses VEGA (Violence, Evidence, Guidance, Action), a Canadian public health response that includes guidance for providers on recognizing and responding safely to family violence and CSA.
