Hands That Heal International
Curriculum
Hands that Heal is a comprehensive, Christian
curriculum to train global caregivers who are frontline providers of aftercare
for women, children, and men that have been trafficked into the commercial sex
industry. The curriculum is the result of a collaboration among more than 40
academicians and field practitioners from diverse backgrounds and organizations
that address the needs of trafficked individuals. Hands that Heal can
also be used as a tool to inform and inspire churches, communities,
organizations, and individuals around the world to engage in the battle against
the injustice of human trafficking and to help equip them to provide
transformational care to survivors.
There are two editions of Hands
That Heal. The Academic Edition is designed as an undergraduate or graduate
course to introduce future caregivers to the wide-ranging needs of survivors of
sex trafficking, as well as to enhance the skills of current caregivers. The
Community-Based Edition utilizes a participatory training approach that can be
used at the local level by churches, organizations and local community groups
around the world.

ReplyDeleteDespite the severity and magnitude of human trafficking, much of the general public in the U.S. remains unaware of the problem. However, experience has shown that most people are deeply moved and motivated to action when educated about the subject. Therefore, the speed with which we rid the world of trafficking depends in part upon the speed with which the public is made aware of the problem. This can be done in several ways. You can:
1. Distribute the address to this website: www.salvationarmyusa.org/trafficking
2. Request a free packet of information from us by emailing your request along with your name and address to anti_sextrafficking@usn.salvationarmy.org
3. Join a free email listserve for regular news and information related to sex trafficking, commercial sexual exploitation, and other human rights abuses (to join the list, send an email to: anti_sextrafficking@usn.salvationarmy.org)
4. Provide this and other important information on human trafficking to your local media
5. Arrange for experts to speak to various community groups
6. Give presentations yourself using the Dept. of Health & Human Services presentation tool found under "Campaign Toolkits." click here
7. Initiate informal discussions with friends, colleagues or groups (classes, meetings, religious and community groups, etc.)
8. Distribute brochures and posters from the Rescue & Restore campaign located at www.acf.hhs.gov/trafficking
