Description: With the increased awareness surrounding identification of survivors of human trafficking and exploitation, mental health clinicians are more likely than ever to work with a survivor in their clinical practice. However, mental health clinicians often have difficulty recognizing indicators of exploitation and difficulty understanding the complex dynamics of trafficking and exploitation and how these may show up in their clinical practice. This presentation will provide an overview of the spectrum of trafficking and exploitation, provide information on identifying indicators of trafficking, and give an overview of clinical considerations mental health providers must make in treatment planning with survivors of trafficking and exploitation. At the end of this presentation, clinicians will be more confident and better prepared in supporting their clients. 1.5 CEUs.

Learning Objectives:

• Define human trafficking using the acts, means, purpose model
• Explain the spectrum of exploitation and trafficking
• Apply five indicators of trafficking and exploitation in a clinical setting
• Identify three best practices for treatment planning with survivors of trafficking and exploitation
