This webinar was presented live on January 14, 2021.

The session will provide an overview of the child welfare population and how to look for and assess issues related to human trafficking. The presentation will include a description of how individuals who are involved or who have been involved in the child welfare system and/or have experienced trafficking and have co-occurring eating disorders have similar presentations with trauma and eating disorders, which often have symptoms that overlap, exacerbate each other, and prove to be challenging for clinicians. The presentation will look at important issues related to specialization in treatment and advocacy for this unique population.
