Supporting Survivors of Trafficking with Intellectual Disabilities: Prevention and Response Through Multi-Systems Collaboration
- This event has passed.
Description
Individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) are at a disproportionately higher risk of experiencing domestic violence, sexual violence, and human trafficking. Unfortunately, due to the marginalization of individuals with ID, victims/survivors are often not recognized or offered appropriate support and services. The webinar will explore vulnerability factors facing the ID community and how organizations can work collaboratively to offer person-centered support to those who have experienced trafficking. As a result of this webinar, participants will be better able to: a) Identify individual and systemic factors influencing the vulnerability of individuals with ID to exploitation and trafficking; b) Recognize indicators of possible trafficking, and subtle nuances in presentation when interacting with a victim/survivor with ID; c) Initiate and facilitate multisystem collaboration; d) Explore methods of balancing institutional responsibility for ensuring safety and respecting individual autonomy; e) Apply (employ) survivor-centered response practices when working with survivors of human trafficking, domestic violence, and sexual assault with intellectual disabilities. Registration information will be posted soon. For morequestions, please contact learning@futureswithoutviolence.org
