About this course
Human Trafficking: How Can We Help? is a continuing education (CE) course created for healthcare professionals who may be uniquely positioned to recognize and respond to signs of human trafficking. With victims often seeking medical care during their exploitation, clinical settings can serve as critical opportunities for safe intervention.
This course provides a clear understanding of the different types of human trafficking—including sex trafficking and labor exploitation—and the complex factors that make victims vulnerable. It highlights how healthcare providers can identify red flags during patient interactions and respond appropriately while preserving safety and trust.
Core topics include:
Types and Dynamics of Trafficking: Understanding coercion, control tactics, and victim profiles.
Clinical Indicators: Physical, psychological, and behavioral signs seen in healthcare settings.
Trauma-Informed Communication: Approaching patients with empathy and without judgment.
Reporting and Documentation: Navigating legal obligations, mandatory reporting laws, and ethical considerations.
Referral and Support: Connecting victims with appropriate services and support networks.
The course emphasizes the importance of trauma-informed care, interprofessional collaboration, and knowledge of local and national resources. It also explores barriers victims face when disclosing their situation and how providers can create a safe environment for disclosure.
By the end of the course, learners will be prepared to take informed, compassionate action that contributes to a healthcare system better equipped to recognize and help those affected by human trafficking.

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
