Training Overview
Based on the nationally-recognized ChildFirst® Forensic Interview Protocol, this 2.5-day training provides a purposeful and legally defensible process for conducting expanded forensic interviews with children who may not succeed in a standard, single interview due to trauma, developmental stages, special needs, or other complex factors.
The course teaches the expanded interview process, along with the foundational research supporting multiple, non-duplicative interviews with child victims and witnesses. As part of the curriculum, students will actively practice the specialized techniques learned to ensure they are equipped to handle these complex interviews in the field.
