Update: Human Trafficking

In the last episode, we replayed one of our most powerful episodes, Sold for a Chrysler 300. The episode featured Annika Huff sharing her story as a survivor of human trafficking, as well as recommendations on how to address trafficking from experts in the field. If you haven’t listened to that episode, we recommend checking it out!  In this follow up episode, our own Dr. Julia Magaña fills us in on what’s changed since 2018, including a new screening tool developed by Dr. Makini Chisholm-Straker and her team.  Have you used the RAFT in your clinical practice?
