Course Description:

The complex relationship between drug use and both labor and sex trafficking is a public health concern. The role of drugs in human trafficking is powerful and pervasive. Not only are those with drug abuse issues more vulnerable to being trafficked, but traffickers specifically target them. Traffickers can use drugs as a means of coercion. Many victims are forced to engage in criminality, such as illicit drug production and transportation. This presentation will explore the intersections of human trafficking and the drug culture, identify indicators of exploitation, discuss screening, and advanced clinical skills for the treatment of co-occurring mental health concerns.
