This American Hospital Association (AHA) resource, adapted from materials developed by Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI), describes 10 potential red flags of human trafficking in the health care setting.
With support from the CommonSpirit Foundation, the CommonSpirit HT Response Program partnered with the National Survivor Network (NSN), a national network of labor and sex trafficking survivors, to develop HT victim outreach posters for health care settings. The posters are available in different sizes and in various languages with Dignity Health or CHI branding. Special thanks to the San Francisco-based creative agency Eleven for supporting this project, including the design of all posters, brochures, and safety cards.
