TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Atypical jobs in psychology: provision of cross-cultural safe-house services for survivors of human trafficking in Finland JO - Psychological services A1 - Mikeal, Cindy W. SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - This article outlines my career as a counseling psychologist trained in integrated behavioral health care and trauma treatment prior to becoming a self-employed consultant for Samaria, a Finnish non-governmental organization (NGO), engaged in aftercare activities for individuals identified as victims of human trafficking. I became interested in working with victims of human trafficking after hearing a leader of Project Rescue, an international antitrafficking organization, speak at the church I attend. Particularly, I developed a specific interest in providing intensive and on-the-job training to employees and volunteers of these programs in an effort to promote longitudinal consistency in the provision of service, improve staff self-care practices, and reduce caregiver attrition in a field where compassionate and competent care is emotionally draining and time-intensive.
