The course will cover Florida Law Chapter 2019-152 requirements designed to educate massage therapists on human trafficking.

This course will focus on awareness of human trafficking for massage therapists and provide information on how to identify possible trafficking victims, steps to report cases, and information about resources available to assist victims.

The course will review techniques traffickers use to force, defraud, and coerce individuals into slavery, and to keep victims captive, and the traumatic effects of trafficking.

This training will provide strategies to identify the indicators of labor and sexual trafficking, report cases to access law enforcement, criminal justice, and community resources for victim assistance and ongoing support.
