Abuse, Trauma, and Forensic Interviewing (for non-investigators only)

Abuse, Trauma, and Forensic Interviewing | Instructors: Chris Schopen, LPC and Kelly Wills, Police Crisis Intervention Specialist

This training is designed to improve the follow-up care of child abuse victims by introducing non-investigative professionals to forensically-informed treatment, the process of victimization, and the way in which this interfaces with forensic interviewing techniques for prosecution and investigative purposes. This will broaden participants’ knowledge of how reliable information is collected in a child-sensitive, developmentally appropriate and legally defensive manner.

Intended Audience: This training is exclusively designed for non-investigative professionals with duties that include dealing with children who are involved in abuse cases, including DCS Case Managers, Court Appointed Special Advocates, Guardian Ad Litems, and Counselors.

Training Hours: 4 hrs.
