Abstract
The identification of vulnerable individuals who are or have been subjected to abuse and exploitation is vitally important so that survivors can access the specific help and support to assist them recover from their traumatic experiences. This article considers what the main issues, barriers and challenges are for trafficked victims to be positively identified. It also illustrates how mental health workers can play a significant role in identifying those most likely to become victims of human trafficking and support them effectively. These issues are important and valuable to consider as the selection of aspects of the topics to discuss are pertinent especially in light of the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on people’s mental health.
