This training will provide an introduction to working with survivors of human trafficking. This 101 training will be followed by an advanced 201 training. Clinicians that participate in both the 101 and 201 trainings will have the opportunity to join an ongoing peer support collaborative. This cohort of trained counselors will be included on a referral list of trained providers that will be distributed to the Maryland Human Trafficking Task Force partner agencies.
This opportunity will provide licensed counselors and social workers with professional development and a chance to expand their agency’s clinical services. Participation in this training series will help counselors gain task force referrals, identify at-risk clients, and provide a much-needed service for those involved in human trafficking.
Prerequisites:
Individuals must be Licensed Graduate Level Practitioners (such as LGSW, LCSW-C, LGPC, LCPC); and
Must have been practicing for a minimum of 3 years.
