2019 HR Summit: Grow in Hope, Be Equipped and Respond

This year’s summit provided a forum style conference format to engage participants in dialogue with the presenters. Our Pre-Summit day was thoughtfully prepared for the development of professionals within the health, education and/or social justice service providers, directly involved with vulnerable peoples. Our main summit day was directed to any community member or business desiring to be educated and wanting to be involved in helping us eradicate human trafficking.

MEDIA HIGHLIGHTS:

Click here to take the “ Human Trafficking: Help Don’t Hinder” A 1-hour online learning module developed by Fraser Health Forensic Nurse Examiners. The module is designed to better aid emergency health care professionals to identify and provide assistance to potential victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation who present in a hospital Emergency Department. Two versions are available for: 1) Fraser Health staff and other B.C. health care providers, and 2) the general public and non-B.C. health care providers. The training method, which includes an introductory video on human trafficking and interactive case studies, is based on the “c.a.r.e” acronym (CONSIDER – the red flags, ASSESS – the health care environment, the patient and the health care provider, RESPOND – initiate a referral to Forensic Nursing Service, EVALUATE – the response). This acronym is based on a trauma informed approach to care and guides the health care provider through the steps of identification and response.

Events like our Summit are designed to engage participants in our mission to “Grow in Hope, Be Equipped and Respond”. We can all do our part to end human trafficking in our own communities.  Want to learn more? Didn’t get a chance to attend our Summit?
