Presenter: Hanni Stoklosa, MD, MPH, Founding CEO of HEAL Trafficking, an emergency physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) with appointments at Harvard Medical School and the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative.

The Greater New Orleans Human Trafficking Task Force and HEAL Trafficking are piloting the implementation of the Core Competencies for Human Trafficking Response in Health Care and Behavioral Health Systems released by the National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance Center, Office on Trafficking in Persons, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, (NHTTAC) on February 2021.

The goal of the core competencies is to clarify the skill sets needed for Health Care Professionals to identify, respond to, and serve individuals who have experienced trafficking and individuals who are at risk of trafficking with trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and patient-centered principles. These core competencies are designed to help health care professionals and organizations in the identification, response, and provision of services to potential and identified individuals who have experienced trafficking and at-risk populations through diverse partnerships, delivery of specialized training and resources, and rigorous training evaluation.
