uman trafficking has grown from a 9.5 billion dollar international crime to 150 billion dollars in a short span of 13 years.
Research has shown that the main reason victims are not identified in therapists’ offices is due to the lack of awareness of the
severity of the problem and lack of training in identification of victims by therapists and clinicians. Often they are diagnosed as
ODD, Bipolar Disorder and described as being out of control, defiant, or dysregulated. As a result, the core problem and issues are
not identified. This keynote presentation will focus on the above and train therapists in tools to identify and assess victims effectively.
