It also outlines the critical important of healthcare workers in identifying and assisting victims. Dr Frizzell presents a convincing argument as to why human trafficking is a public health issue. Using a trauma-informed approach, it provides helpful tips and approaches that can be used by providers in real-world scenarios to identify and assist victims."
