Description
This workshop will explore how elevated rates of all types of violence against Indigenous populations lead to increased risk for human trafficking, taking historical issues and current systems of oppression into context. The presenter will help attendees recognize the ways that historical trauma continues to impact their Indigenous clients’ engagement in these oppressive systems. Anne will share ways that attendees can connect their Indigenous clients to cultural practices and healing, which has been shown to increase resilience and prevent many current issues in the lives of Indigenous people, including trafficking, exploitation, suicidality, substance use, and more.
