Q&A:
42:42 – Are there any online trainings you recommend? A lot of our onboarding is remote and self-guided.
44:00 – Are there any safety considerations with labor trafficking survivors we should include in our trainings?
46:25 – Would you suggest repeating trainings as a refresher for staff? If so, how often do you think that this would be helpful?
48:02 – We do human trafficking trainings, but staff still treats survivors [of domestic violence] the same, even though their needs and experiences are different. Any tips or advice to address this?
50:20 – Regarding a question asked earlier, there are safety considerations when you’re working with sex trafficking survivors that a lot of organizations are familiar with, and these are translatable to labor trafficking survivors with things like criminalization – a lot of people are worried about reporting for fear of persecution. Do you have any examples of how you’ve dealt with that in the past?
