EL PASO, Texas – UTEP’s College of Health Sciences will host a free training on human trafficking for health care providers. This training session is only open to registrants, and registration is closed, but members of the media are welcome to attend.

S.O.A.R  (Stop. Observe. Ask. Respond to Human Trafficking) is a training workshop facilitated by representatives from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for health care and social services professionals to identify, treat and respond to potential victims of human trafficking.

Health care providers, social workers and behavioral health and public health professionals will learn how to better describe the types of human trafficking in the U.S.; recognize possible indicators of human trafficking; demonstrate how to identify and respond to potential trafficking victims; respond appropriately to potential human trafficking in the community; and share the importance of human trafficking awareness and responsiveness with others in the work environment.
