We welcome you in advance to our 2021 WNA Membership Assembly & Annual Meeting – virtual edition! Both the Morning Educational Session and the Afternoon WNA Annual Meeting will be held on the Zoom platform – so plan to get comfortable and join from your home or office.
8:30-11:30 AM
MORNING EDUCATIONAL SESSION
‘Human Trafficking – The Other Epidemic’ has been planned by members of the WNA Human Trafficking Task Force and will feature a Keynote presentation providing an overview of human trafficking, its economic impact on healthcare and its threat to global health, followed by an update on federal legislation related to human trafficking. A panel of representatives from Wisconsin law enforcement, pediatric services and SANE/Forensic Nursing will share their real world experience in dealing with victims and perpetrators, and discuss how groups can collaborate to end this epidemic. Participants are invited to engage in the Dialogue Forum immediately following the presentations from 11:00-11:30 in which we will review the 2008 WNA Reference Report – Human Trafficking and make recommendations for changes.
The morning session is open to all health care professionals and students (WNA members as well as non-members).
