Please bring a journal and anything else you need to feel grounded and cozy.
Hosted by UM Social Work Alum, Raina LaGrand., MPH, MSWRaina is a certified yoga teacher, wellness educator, and clinical social worker. She is passionate about holding space for folks to safely and courageously (re)connect with themselves and actualize their dreams and desires.

Human Trafficking for Social Workers and Service Providers
March 30, 2018 - 9:00am to 4:00pm
In this workshop, social workers and other service providers will gain an understanding what human trafficking is and how they can help victims of human trafficking that they encounter in their field of practice, with a particular emphasis on healthcare settings. We will explore the root causes of human trafficking, and our role in perpetuating and combating the underlying causes. We will take a critical perspective on what it means to help a victim of trafficking, as well-intentioned interventions can unwittingly cause the individual's arrest or deportation. Further, we will examine guiding principles for successful engagement with this population, including trauma-informed care, cultural awareness, and harm reduction. Finally, we will hear about local resources that providers can use if they suspect a client is a victim of human trafficking.
Registration for this course is closed. Visit the CE Course Catalog for more offerings.
