LIFT uses an evidence-based curriculum to dispel common myths of HT; engage local community stakeholders so health professionals may connect their patients to local medical, legal, and social services; and equip health professionals with specific tools to build HT protocols for their respective institutions. By engaging health professionals directly in multiple cities and states, PATH and the LIFT curriculum assist victims of trafficking both locally and on a national level.
