The Neuropsychology of Trafficking Trauma
January 13, 2022
10 a.m. PST | 1 p.m. EST
Duration: 90 Minutes
Youth who have experienced trafficking have endured intense and prolonged trauma that fundamentally rewrites their central nervous system. This webinar discusses the neuropsychology of the trauma response to trafficking. You will be able to describe a child’s biological response to sex trafficking and explain how using a trauma-informed lens will help youth trafficking survivors. Participants can also receive an attendance certificate to use towards continuing education units or continuing legal education credits.
Due to the varying requirements of different jurisdictions and disciplines, the NCJFCJ does not seek prior accreditation of educational programs for CLE/CEUs. Please consult the rules of your jurisdiction regarding procedures
for receiving continuing education credits.
