If an individual chooses to participate in available services, it is critical that the provider they are working with is victim-centered and trauma-informed.
Utilizing a victim-centered approach means ensuring the needs of a victim are the provider’s priority and that services are rendered in an inclusive manner that limits re-traumatization.
A trauma-informed lens in human trafficking victim services refers to recognizing the role of trauma in each individual’s experience and creating an appropriate response when providing services.
