Addressing the critical gap in specialized mental health care for survivors of human trafficking, this interactive workshop introduces a trauma-informed supervision model. Recognizing the profound impact of trauma on both survivors and the professionals who support them, this session is vital for both supervisors seeking to enhance their skills and supervisees aiming to navigate this challenging field effectively. Participants will explore their own trauma experiences, learn trauma-informed principles, and develop reflective practice skills. The goal is to equip supervisors with practical strategies to enhance clinician well-being and ultimately improve outcomes for trafficking survivors.
