Description
It is essential that anti-trafficking and systems professionals are well trained to recognize and effectively respond to trafficking. One strategy is Problem Based Learning Simulation (PBL-S) training. The National Center on Child Trafficking and its partners have developed a trafficking-focused PBL-S training in which professionals develop trafficking knowledge, practice communication and interaction skills, and master strategies to address an array of challenges. Presenters will describe PBL-S, the development process, and demonstrate a segment of the PBL-S.
