More About This Event!

Join Dr. A.J. Alejano-Steele, Professor of Health Professions and Co‑founder of the Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking, for an interactive session on how human trafficking appears across Colorado. You’ll walk through realistic scenarios showing how individuals with lived experience may present in healthcare, behavioral health and community settings and learn practical tools to identify red flags and respond safely. We’ll correct common myths about labor and sex trafficking and highlight key resources, including how to use the Colorado Human Trafficking Hotline. This session equips students from any field to better understand and address this critical human rights issue. As a preview, see our statewide efforts at combathumantrafficking.org
