Human Trafficking: The Emerging Role of Occupational Therapy Practitioners

Description: The International Labour Organization estimates that there are approximately 49.6 million victims of human trafficking at any given time worldwide. Human traffickers prey on people of all ages, backgrounds, and nationalities and exploit them for their own benefit and profit.  OT practitioners have an opportunity to increase awareness and combat human trafficking. 

This course presents the most current information on human trafficking based on the United Nations 3P Protocol, United States law, and occupational therapy approaches.

Foundational information includes human trafficking statistics, types of trafficking, biopsychosocial deficits found in trafficked persons, research sources, and current occupational therapy and multi-disciplinary intervention approaches. These components provide the base to define potential occupational therapy programing in this emerging field.
