WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 2021
/PRNewswire/ -- Human Trafficking survivors, working with Safe House Project,
national anti-trafficking nonprofit, and the Academy of Forensic Nursing,
released a revolutionary healthcare training to equip all healthcare workers to
spot trafficking. This partnership and training came as a growing body of
research indicated that healthcare workers feel ill-equipped to spot the signs
of trafficking and provide victims with resources.

"While 88% of trafficking victims seek some form of healthcare while being
trafficked, identification of these victims is still at 1%," said Safe House
Project CEO, Kristi Wells. "During the pandemic, we saw a 40% rise in
trafficking cases and a unique opportunity to equip healthcare workers on the
frontlines to spot and help victims," she said.

The H.O.P.E trafficking training provides healthcare workers a fresh approach to
understand the issue of human trafficking through real survivor stories and
industry expert analyses. This interactive video-based training uniquely equips
healthcare workers to identify potential human trafficking victims, offer
resources, and intervene as outlined by state mandates and facilities' policies
and procedures.

"With the majority of survivors seeing a healthcare provider during their
trafficking situation, healthcare workers are uniquely positioned to identify
and provide resources to trafficking victims," said Safe House Project COO,
Brittany Dunn, "As a beacon of safety and healing in our communities, healthcare
workers are vital partners in combating trafficking."

Survivor leader Sarah Evans, a survivor of child sex trafficking, helped develop
the training. "During my time being trafficked, I saw many healthcare workers
sense something was wrong. I saw them wrestle with what to do, feeling helpless
and unsure how to help. I also saw them look right through me like I didn't
exist. This training helps prevent that from happening to other children.
Healthcare workers who are equipped to identify trafficking and familiar with
how to respond have the opportunity to save lives," said Evans.



The training is available to healthcare networks to train their employees, as
well as to be taken individually by healthcare workers. It also provides
continuing education credits, an essential part furthering education and saving
lives.

"I've spent thirty years in and around ERs providing all types of medical and
surgical care, yet I still learned a lot," said Dr. Douglas Ayers, MD, after
reviewing the training, "It is critical that this trafficking training be made
widely available to healthcare workers throughout the United States."
