Webinar: Understanding Trauma Bonds between Traffickers and Their Victims
2020-05-13 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Chicago)
The National Criminal Justice Training Center is offering a free webinar on Understanding Trauma Bonds between Traffickers and Their Victims
Trauma bonding is a counter-intuitive phenomenon in which a victim bonds and develops strong positive feelings toward his or her abuser. These bonds are common among sex trafficking victims and affect their ability to identify their own victimization, cooperate with law enforcement investigations, and refrain from going back into the life once they have left. This webinar will examine the formation of these bonds between traffickers and their victims through case examples, videos, and discussion. Strategies for breaking these bonds and helping victims psychologically separate from their abusers will also be discussed.
