<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The prevalence of human trafficking across the country is widespread—spanning small, rural jurisdictions to sprawling cities—and affects both domestic and foreign-born children and adults. Because of the coercive
and violent nature of human trafficking, it is common for victims to experience overlapping forms of victimization, particularly domestic violence and sexual assault. Yet, many survivors are unrecognized, criminalized, or do not receive adequate services to
address their complex needs. How can multidisciplinary groups work together to identify survivors and direct them to services? How can key stakeholders enhance their capacity and collaboration to meet survivors’ needs?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">This five-part webinar series offers strategies, practical tips, case studies, and resources to help domestic violence and sexual assault service providers improve outcomes for human trafficking survivors.
Each webinar highlights models for potential replication and features local and national subject matter experts.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Male survivors of child sexual abuse are among the most underserved of all victim populations. Although as many as 1 in 6 boys may experience sexual abuse, the vast majority never reveal
their abuse in time to seek a criminal justice response, and many go through adulthood without seeking counseling or assistance. Many are also burdened by myths, cultural limitations, expectations about masculinity, and other issues that keep them from seeking
help. Working with male victims of sexual abuse at any age requires a thorough understanding of these dynamics so communication can proceed, healing can take place, and when possible, justice can be sought through either the civil or criminal process. This
Webinar will address common dynamics associated with male victimization, common tactics that predators use against boys, and how these issues can be overcome.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Hospital and other healthcare personnel are routinely expected to screen for, and in many cases report, suspected child maltreatment, domestic violence and elder abuse. But how many human healthcare workers
treating patients for dog bites inquire as to whether these other forms of family violence are co-occurring? And are hospital personnel treating domestic violence, child abuse and elder abuse cases inquiring as to whether any animal abuse may also be involved?
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The National Link Coalition would like to know of any healthcare agencies that routinely include questions such as these in their intake or assessment protocols. The data are there to demonstrate such a need:
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">• As far back as 1983, researchers in New Jersey found that households marked by child abuse experienced 11 times more dog bites than the non-abusing population.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">• A national study in 2013 reported that a history of animal abuse was present in 21.1% of fatal dog attacks over a 10-year period.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">• A North Carolina study in 2014 reported that by the age of 10 a child has a 1-in-50 risk of a dog bite injury requiring a visit to an ER.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">• Researchers in Ohio found that owners of “high-risk” dogs with vicious tendencies are 3 times more likely than the average pet owner to have been convicted for domestic violence and 9.1 times more likely
to have been convicted for child abuse. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
