Date: Thursday, July 25, 2019 
Time: 3:00 - 4:30 PM ET 

Survivors of trafficking often need housing assistance after exiting their trafficking situation. Domestic violence, homeless or human trafficking specific shelters, unfortunately, may have practices that mirror trafficking experiences and heighten the risk of re-traumatization. This webinar will provide participants a foundation for understanding and implementing trauma-informed practices in shelters. Participants will explore promising practices for shelters that are centered on self-determination, survivor choice, and trauma-informed services.  

*Participants may submit questions to presenters prior to the webinar through the registration form.
