Curriculum Development

Sex Trafficking E-Learning Curriculum
for Forensic Nurses

Working with the Ontario Network of Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence Treatment Centres (SA/DVTCs) and an advisory group of individuals with professional and/or lived expertise in sex trafficking, we developed, Providing Care to Sex Trafficked Adolescents and Adults: An e-Learning Curriculum for Forensic Nurses. Following implementation, the curriculum was evaluated; the findings demonstrated the effectiveness of the curriculum in increasing their competence to provide appropriate care to persons sex trafficked. The curriculum has become mandatory training for all Forensic Nurses at Ontario’s 37 hospital-based SA/DVTCs. 

Sex Trafficking E-Learning Curriculum
for Social Service and Mental Health Providers

Working with the Ontario Network of Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence Treatment Centres (SA/DVTCs), we developed, Providing Supports to Persons Sex Trafficked: An e-Learning for Social Service and Mental Health Providers. This curriculum was externally reviewed by a group of individuals with professional and/or lived expertise in sex trafficking. This curriculum is currently being evaluated by the social workers and social service providers at Ontario’s 37 hospital-based SA/DVTCs.
