Whilst an emerging body of research documents the adverse physical and mental health outcomes of victims
of trafficking following rescue, there is little research or guidance regarding interventions which improve these
outcomes. In this article, I describe my experience as physician involved in a computer-based social enterprise
for survivors of trafficking and slavery in the Philippines, and outline my evolving understanding of the
requirements for health behavior change and improved outcomes. I conclude that while meaningful
vocational skills, economic security, and adequate health-related knowledge are foundational, it is necessary to
develop core skills to achieve improved health outcomes and that a supportive workplace is an ideal setting for
this to occur.
