SUMMARY:Justice Clearinghouse | When Trauma Meets the Courtroom: A Call for Compassionate Justice for Children and Families
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nIn this webinar\, national consultants and trauma expert Becky Haas will explore what trauma is\, how to identify it\, and why the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) study remains so significant today. \nShe’ll discuss the widespread impact of trauma on justice-involved individuals and their families—and how creating safe\, compassionate environments can help prevent re-traumatization\, which is essential for healing and recovery. \nJustice and child-welfare professionals who understand the connection between trauma and substance use disorders are better equipped to provide interventions that support long-term stability—not just for adults\, but also for the children whose lives are shaped by their caregivers’ justice involvement. \nBecause justice shouldn’t compound harm—it should work toward true rehabilitation and healing. \nRegister Through Justice Clearinghouse\n

SUMMARY:NCAC Interviewing Children on the Autism Spectrum
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview\nChildren with neurodivergent disorders such as ASD are at an increased risk of child maltreatment. This population presents challenges for forensic interviewers as there is great variability in functioning including unique memory and cognitive processes\, linguistic style\, understanding and expression of emotions\, and forming connections with others. Many of these children can provide information about their experiences if the interviewer is able to adapt questioning approaches and interview strategies to meet the needs of this child. Preparation and flexibility are key. While providing a review of possible domains of impact on functioning\, this training will focus on tips for information gathering\, preparation with the investigative partners to set reasonable expectations\, and adaptations to questioning strategies and interview phases. \nThis training is recommended for forensic interviewers who have developed some comfort and flexibility with the continuum of questioning strategies and the phases of a forensic interview. \nRegister through NCAC

Specific emphasis will be on how to enhance rapport building throughout an interview\, address the importance of including narrative event practice prior to talking about the issue of concern\, and will teach specific interview techniques focusing on the use of open-ended questions from narrative event practice through basic questioning about the concerns. \nPresenters will cover memory and cognitive development research and the values of these skills. Presenters will also provide an overview of the components of child maltreatment investigations and child forensic interviewing. Attendees will learn and practice new skills that may help them respond effectively to children who make statements that raise child maltreatment or family violence concerns.
