Supporting refugee and migrant survivors of human trafficking with parenting responsibilities

This manual, Caring for Those Who Care: Supporting Refugee and Migrant Survivors of Human Trafficking with Parenting Responsibilities, is designed to guide facilitators in delivering training for first line responders working with refugee and migrant survivors of trafficking who are also parents or caregivers. Developed by the International Rescue Committee (IRC), this updated edition builds on the IRC’s experience with the Families Make the Difference (FMD) program and its broader anti-trafficking work. The training aims to strengthen participants’ understanding of human trafficking, enhance trauma-informed support for survivors, and promote positive parenting practices that foster the wellbeing of children and families affected by forced migration and exploitation.
