About Pamela SF Glenn Consulting
My Mission
- To help us all see that the person right in front of us may be in a trafficked situation.
- To educate health care teams to effectively screen for human trafficking in our patient's lives, and address it in a trauma-informed, patient-centered manner.
- To dispel the myths about human trafficking and see its wide scope, impacting all of our communities.
Why do this training?
The health care team plays a vital role in addressing human trafficking in our communities. Studies have shown that approximately 88% of sex trafficking victims had contact with a health care professional. Each of these contacts is an opportunity for identifying and assisting a victim.
Let's not miss this opportunity!
Why do this training now?
The scope of human trafficking is already immense. Additionally, both our country and our world are facing wide spread crisis, such as the recent pandemic, wars, conflicts, and climate change, all of which can lead to an expansion of human trafficking. Thus, it's imperative that health care teams be trained to effectively address this horrendous situation.
The time is now.
