Healthcare professionals are on the frontlines when it comes to identifying and caring for victims of human trafficking. As a result, they need to be educated on how to recognize red flags of abuse so they can intercede on behalf of the patient. This program will play a critical role in preparing our country’s medical community to help victims break out of this abuse cycle.

About This Program

Human Trafficking Awareness for Healthcare: W.A.R. on Slavery is a three-minute-a-day program for educating your staff on how to recognize and help sex trafficking victims. Each lesson provides the gripping story of a real-life victim that will change your team’s mindsets and hearts and educate them on the tools and action steps they can use to help victims escape their slavery.

In this program, your staff will learn:

  • Warmth and Protection keys that are essential to connecting and providing a safe haven for human trafficking victims;
  • Assessment tools for recognizing “red flags” and working with victims utilizing a 4-step process;
  • Releasing shame and blame from victims by understanding the victim mentality and brainwashing tactics of pimps and others who enslave these victims.

A tri-fold HT Pocket Guide forHealthcare printable pdf is designed to assist staff in remembering the key points and action strategies. We have an insertable pdf for the ICD Codes for human trafficking cases to go along with our Pocket Guide.

Abolitionist William Wilberforce once said, “You may choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know. Let it not be said that I was silent when they needed me.”

Bio Sketch:

ruth-and-patti

After falling prey to traffickers as a teenager, Ruth Rondon broke free from 18 years of drug addiction and trafficking at age 33.  Ruth was subjected to trauma and abuse as a child and as an adult, and lived beyond the reach of anyone who cared for her. Her family and others tried to reach her for years, to no avail.  She navigated through life in survival mode, lonely, self-destructive, and oblivious to her own potential and the power she held inside.  Ruth vowed to be a victim no more and was able to escape the life. She broke free from drug addiction and broke the cycle of abuse in her life and she went on to work for 27 years as a clerk. She retired so she could begin helping other victims become survivors. She is the author of The Realities of Human Trafficking: From the Inside Out to Freedom.  In 2015, Ruth was appointed by Governor Snyder to serve (and is presently serving) a two-year term on the Michigan Human Trafficking Health Advisory Board.
