Past Trainings

In this presentation, we focus on the intersection between trauma and addiction with an emphasis on its impact on survivors of human trafficking. We discuss addiction issues from a perspective of a risk factor as well as a consequence of a traumatic experience. Additionally, we examine how addiction issues could interfere and impede survivors' recovery process. Finally, we consider how stigma and bias associated with addiction issues impact the delivery of services and survivors' overall well-being.

Join the National Survivor Law Collective to learn all about what it means to be a trauma-informed lawyer and how to put those skills to practice when working with trafficking survivors. This training will educate participants on the impact of trauma on the brain and provide tools and tips on how to effectively work with clients who are victims of trauma without re-traumatizing them. This training will also educate participants on the impact of working with trauma victims including how to identify and respond to vicarious trauma.
