About

This presentation, given to the Colorado Pediatric Emergency Care Committee in 2020, focuses on human trafficking and its link to healthcare. It discusses how trafficked individuals often visit healthcare providers but may not be recognized as victims. The talk explains the federal definition of trafficking and highlights risk factors like homelessness and past abuse. It also covers signs that might indicate someone is being trafficked, such as injuries or STIs. The lecture emphasizes the importance of trauma-informed care and suggests ways for healthcare workers to identify and help potential victims while respecting their privacy.
