Course Description

According to the Polaris Project, human trafficking "is widespread but exact numbers are hard to come by. It follows patterns, but every situation is also unique." the exact scope of trafficking activity is hard to come by, but it is clear that trafficking occurs in every type of community. 

This course uses FSMTB's 2017 Human Trafficking Task Force Report, interviews with subject matter experts, and discussions of real world examples to show how massage therapists can be a part of the solution.
