Keynote address: Culture and Risk Indicators of Human Trafficking as they Relate to Children and Youth
This year’s keynote presentation will be given by Casandra Diamond. Casandra will draw on previous lived experience and her current role as founder and Director of BridgeNorth to discuss indicators of human trafficking as they relate to children and youth. Casandra will share how having a better understanding of the unique sub-culture of the sex trade will assist social workers and social service workers in recognizing human trafficking situations and allow them to be more effective in their practice.
Please note: The Educational Forum will be hosted in English.
