We're pleased to announce that Sarah Berry, DNP, RN, AGCNS-BC, CEN, will be speaking on Thursday of the 2018 Michigan Nursing Summit, October 18-19. Berry will be one of three expert panelists for Human Trafficking: What Nurses Need to Know.
Sarah Berry is a board certified Clinical Nurse Specialist who has practiced in critical care and emergency nursing since 2009. She is a certified Emergency Nurse and recently graduated with her Doctorate in Nursing Practice. Her focus for human trafficking has been educating the healthcare provider on how to identify patients, provide trauma-informed care, and avoid re-traumatization.
Panelists include Sarah Berry, Christina Cercy, and Cynthia Weintraub. All three are members of the Beaumont Human Trafficking Task Force (HTTF). The HTTF provides survivor-centered, comprehensive interdisciplinary care and support through education and promoting awareness to Beaumont Health and the communities it serves. The HTTF strives to be the leading healthcare organization in providing high quality, compassionate care to Human Trafficking survivors, while simultaneously advancing awareness, understanding and education through community collaborations. HTTF will embrace the values of compassion, respect, integrity, teamwork, and excellence as a guiding framework to cultivate an empowering, survivor-centered, trauma-informed, interdisciplinary treatment approach.
