H.O.P.E. human trafficking training
healthcare workers are vital partners in combating trafficking

90% of victims will come in contact with a healthcare professional during the course of their trafficking.
The H.O.P.E. (Healthcare Observations for the Prevention & Eradication of Human Trafficking) Training was developed by the Academy of Forensic Nursing, human trafficking survivors, healthcare leaders, and Safe House Project. We collaborated to deploy a survivor-informed, trauma-informed, and patient-centered video-based training that equips all healthcare workers to identify potential human trafficking victims, give support, and offer resources.
"I’ve spent thirty years in and around ERs providing all types of medical and surgical care, yet I still learned a lot. It is critical that this trafficking training be made widely available to healthcare workers throughout the United States."
