In the fight against human trafficking, traditional methods often rely on identifying "red flags" or specific indicators of trafficking situations. While these indicators can be useful, they also come with limitations, such as the risk of re-traumatizing survivors, misidentifying individuals, and failing to build intentional relationships. This session aims to shift the focus from a checklist-based approach to a more holistic, person-centered framework. Participants will explore the limitations of the red flag framework and learn how to implement a whole person approach that respects the dignity and autonomy of survivors. This approach acknowledges the diverse and complex experiences of those impacted by human trafficking and emphasizes the importance of empathy, comprehensive support, and intentional relationship-building. Through interactive discussions, case studies, and practical exercises, attendees will gain insights into how to create more effective and compassionate interventions. They will learn how to identify and address the unique needs of survivors, build trust, and foster independence, rather than dependence on systems.
