Webinar

Human trafficking has become a nationwide epidemic, with nearly 1 million people living in the condition of modern slavery in the U.S. Many of these victims have a range of health consequences. Despite up to 80 percent of trafficking victims accessing healthcare during their trafficking situations, not every healthcare professional may feel equipped to identify the signs or address a trafficking survivor's needs.

Please join Holland & Knight for a discussion with two of the nation's foremost experts on human trafficking and its prevention. Our distinguished speakers will provide an overview of the current human trafficking situation, a better understanding of the key role that healthcare providers play, and training and tips for how best to equip your organization in the fight against human trafficking.
