CEU Course Description

Human trafficking is a global health concern that involves forcing individuals to be exploited against their will. This type of exploitation occurs in all geographic regions and can impact a range of individuals, so it is increasingly likely that occupational therapy providers in any setting will encounter survivors of human trafficking. Occupational therapists are well-suited to treat individuals who have survived any type of human trafficking due to their expertise in addressing physical, cognitive, and psychosocial dysfunction. Therapists have the training necessary to help them identify, support, and provide education to individuals affected by human trafficking. This emerging practice area is considered yet another domain where occupational therapy professionals can make a positive impact.

CEU Course Objectives

  1. Compare the risk factors for sex trafficking with those for labor trafficking.
  2. Determine how occupational therapists can help those impacted by human trafficking, both in terms of prevention and treatment.
  3. Articulate what occupational areas may be part of the plan of care for someone who has survived human trafficking.
