Position Brief - Human Trafficking-Implications for 21st Century School Nurses
"It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) that the registered professional school nurse (hereinafter referred to as school nurse) be knowledgeable about the scope of human trafficking. In particular, school nurses should be able to recognize signs that a child may have been exposed to a trafficker, may be in the process of being groomed into trafficking, or may already be a victim of trafficking and be prepared to respond within a trauma-informed framework. Prevention, early recognition, and support of children/youth who are victims or suspected victims of human trafficking are critical to their present and future physical/emotional well-being."
