Upcoming Webinars
Understanding and Responding to Human Trafficking:
Typologies and Advocacy Strategies to Support Survivors
As a part of its Innovations in Counseling series, the NBCC Foundation invites you to a free webinar on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, from 1–2 pm EDT. Live webinars are available at no cost, and documentation of 1 clock hour of continuing education is available for registrants who attend the full webinar.
Human trafficking remains a critical public health and human rights issue affecting individuals and communities across the United States. Counselors are uniquely positioned to identify, assess, and support survivors, yet many lack formal training in recognizing exploitation and navigating the complex clinical, legal, and ethical frameworks involved. This webinar provides Counselors with foundational knowledge of human trafficking, including sex and labor trafficking, and equips participants with practical counseling strategies for assessment and intervention. Participants will also review mandated reporting responsibilities, relevant U.S. laws, and advocacy considerations to strengthen ethical practice and enhance care.
After this presentation, participants will be able to:
- differentiate human trafficking, sex trafficking, and labor trafficking and identify key behavioral, emotional, and physical indicators of exploitation.
- apply counseling assessment and treatment strategies when working with survivors of human trafficking.
- understand the 25 human trafficking typologies as well as mandated reporting responsibilities, ethical considerations, and advocacy implications for Counselors serving survivors of human trafficking.
