AHA Webinar: Intersection of Human Trafficking and the Opioid Crisis

Intersection of Human Trafficking and the Opioid Crisis

The American Hospital Association’s Hospital Against Violence initiative, in collaboration with HEAL Trafficking and Jones Day, hosts this webinar to aid health care providers in understanding and addressing the role of opioid use for individuals at risk of, currently experiencing, or recovering from trafficking. We will examine trauma-informed care approaches for providers, client-based, and research perspectives to understand contributing factors to vulnerability.  Together we can identify promising practices and spotlight treatment options that address the underlying issues that can put victims and survivors at risk.
