MMIP Training Resources

In Spring 2021, the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) Domestic Violence Prevention program hosted a webinar series on human trafficking and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP.) This series aims to provide education and resources to collectively protect Alaska’s communities. Each webinar session consisted of presentations from guest speakers and an open discussion with participants. During the webinar sessions, speakers and participants shared resources related to MMIP.
