Identifying and examining the social support services available to survivors of human trafficking in Prince George, B.C.

Human trafficking victims are exposed to traumatic experiences which require the attention of social workers. This practicum focused on identifying and examining the social support services available to survivors of human trafficking in Prince George, British Columbia (BC).This report details my educational experiences with the Prince George and District Elizabeth Fry Society. It also discusses some implications for social work practice. This unique practicum enabled me to gain and develop professional knowledge and skills to help and advocate for survivors of trafficking. It afforded me the opportunity to practice as a master of social work student and explore the experiences of practicing professionals within the agency. The findings of this practicum may enhance social work practice in the area of human trafficking. In particular, social workers would be able to use the outcome of this practicum to guide their delivery of services to survivors of human trafficking in BC.
