An Introduction to Human Trafficking: Theory and Practice is a webinar designed for new professionals in the field, as well as long-time professionals and allies looking for a refresher on the foundations of human  trafficking. Participants will learn what human trafficking is, who is at risk of experiencing trafficking, what services are available to survivors, and practice points within the anti-trafficking field. The training will explore case studies and give practical tools for service provision, as well as offer best practices tips when serving survivors.

In honor of Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month, NOVA will host a discussion to help service providers understand what actions, attitudes, and systems best support survivors of homicide — and what can unintentionally cause harm — through direct insights from survivors themselves./node/add/event

Participants will gain an understanding of the unique social, cultural, and institutional barriers LGBTQ+ survivors face.
