Domestic violence and sexual assault service providers bring valuable expertise and dedication to supporting survivors. This course builds on that foundation with a trauma‑informed approach to addressing the unique needs of survivors of human trafficking who have also experienced domestic and/or sexual violence.

This training strengthens core advocacy skills and builds confidence in key areas, including intake, assessment, case management, and collaborative support.

About the Course

Through interactive, self-paced modules, participants deepen their awareness of survivor experiences, identify protective factors, and strengthen strategies to support survivors’ safety, stability, and long-term self-sufficiency.

The course is designed for advocates supporting survivors and may be completed individually or as part of a team, with worksheet-guided reflection for application.

Course Overview

Each module includes skill-building activities, a case study, tools, and resources. The course includes seven modules, each taking about two hours to complete, including review time, awareness checks, and a downloadable worksheet.

Certificates of participation are provided after completing an evaluation form for each module.
