Kathleen T. Moran, RN, BSN
Kathleen has been a registered nurse for over twenty five years. She has served in the New York City area for most of her career.
In 2010 the United Nations Association (Queens NY Chapter) started the Partnership for the Eradication of Human Trafficking (PEHT) committee. Kathleen has been working with members on projects that educate and bring attention to the crime since it’s inception.
Kathleen and PEHT committee members started to collaborate with Maria Almario to develop, The Inclusive Human trafficking Checklist: A Dialectical Methodology for Measurement, in 2013. The tool that aids in the identification of victims of modern day slavery.
Through PEHT Kathleen has moderated panel discussions as well as coordinated events focused on educating the general public about the crime of modern day slavery. Our most recent event in November of 2015, brought together RESTORE, Garden of Hope, and Freedom Ladder to inform people about services and/or ways to prevent young people from falling victim to a potential trafficker. During the same event the The Inclusive Human Trafficking Checklist was utilized to impart knowledge about some of the traits a victim may posses. The aim was to illicit participation in identification of a victim, so that the people can inform the proper authorities to a potential situation.
Kathleen and co-committee member Barbara Felton have been presented with an impact award for their work on com-batting human trafficking and domestic violence.
As of January 2016 Kathleen is now chairperson of PEHT.
She continues to serve the senior population as a nurse through health conversations she conducts throughout Queens.

Human trafficking is a systematic process of exploitation of human vulnerability. In a globalized and multicultural world, many victims share the commonality of having vulnerable or stigmatized identities, which have been exploited in trafficking situations. Typically, the systematic exploitation of intersecting identities such as gender, age, socioeconomic status, race, immigration status, language, disability, sexual minority status, type of work performed, history of trauma and/or drug abuse is part of the common narratives of many victims. Traffickers foster existing social biases to capitalize on victim's vulnerabilities. Therefore, the identification of victims and subsequent intervention and treatment should be directly linked to the understanding of identity-based vulnerability. Likewise, recovery interventions should be concerned with these issues.
The Inclusive Human Trafficking Model (IHTM) is an evidenced based assessment and intervention methodology meant for multidisciplinary use. It offers a collection of interventions from mental health and civil rights perspectives intended to increase the understanding of exploited identity-based vulnerabilities and foster positive and healthy identity development in victims.
The model underwent a rigorous validation process. The results revealed that the utilization of the model improves victim identification by 40 % when compared to business as usual conditions, as well as increased rater sensitivity in regards to issues of human vulnerability. In this workshop we will introduce the IHTM, discuss utilization implications for case conceptualization and share intervention strategies that can help victims regain a healthy sense of self as they navigate mental health, advocacy and legal services.
