• Often that is the first clue clinicians have that a child is being trafficked.

• Parents miss it, educators miss it, and unfortunately too many therapists miss the telltale signs.

• This workshop will immerse you in the experiences of commercially sexually exploited youth and provide you with competencies to work effectively from a trauma-informed perspective.In this recording, learn from Kathleen Leilani Ja Sook Bergquist, JD, PhD, LCSW, as she draws on more than 20 years of working with survivors of sexual assault.

• Dr. Bergquist will show you effective clinical strategies to:Identify trafficked children and adolescentsWork with youth that are often justice-involved and/or in foster careBreak the trauma bond that allows the trafficker to control the childIdentify trauma-specific evidence-based approaches, there is no one approach fits all!Working with these children can be complex, they often don’t see themselves as victims, and unprepared but well-intended clinicians can replace the trafficker from the youth’s perspective.
