The CornerHouse Forensic Interview Protocol is a person-centered\, semi-structured\, and forensically sound process to gather information from individuals who are identified as victims and/or witnesses of an alleged crime. There are times when it is necessary to adjust a traditional model of a one session forensic interview for the unique needs of the individual\, including interviewing the individual over multiple sessions. This is identified as a Planned Multiple Session Interview (or multisession). Understanding when a multisession interview is necessary and how to conduct a multisession interview may be beneficial to maximize the individual’s ability or opportunity to share their experience. \nThis training will review the literature regarding multiple-session interviews\, discuss decision-making for selecting appropriate cases for multiple sessions\, and provide guidance on conducting a single forensic interview over multiple sessions. \nObjectives\n\nLearners will understand the benefits of multiple-session forensic interviews in meeting the unique needs of individuals.\nLearners will identify when a multiple-session interview may be necessary.\nLearners will learn to adjust the CornerHouse Forensic Interview Protocol into a Planned Multiple-session interview.\nLearners will explore considerations for the Multidisciplinary Team regarding incorporating multiple session interviews in current practice.\n\nRegister Through CornerHouse\nThis training being offered FREE to MDT members within the state of Minnesota. MDT members include any Child Advocacy Center (CAC) staff\, law enforcement/peace officers\, Department of Children and Families\, attorneys and advocates within a county attorney’ office\, medical providers and educators who serve/work with their local Child Advocacy Center.

Ethical decision-making is particularly challenging with adolescents because legal rights\, ethical concerns\, and guidelines change as clients age. An ethical humility framework enables you to support your client’s growth and development while upholding your professional responsibilities. \nExploring the micro and macro levels of ethical humility in your work with adolescents ensures that you support your clients’ rights to self-advocacy in your professional role. The complex interplay of individual and parental rights with varied laws and guidelines requires careful consideration. As a child progresses from adolescence to adulthood\, their decision-making capacity evolves. Developing an ethical decision-making process ensures that adolescent clients receive appropriate care from professionals. Adopting an ethical humility perspective strengthens the professional’s ability to meet the client where they are. \nEthical decision-making is crucial for all professionals working with adolescents. This intermediate-level virtual course is appropriate for psychologists\, social workers\, counselors\, and other helping professionals who work with adolescents in their practice. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDescribe the framework of ethical humility as applied to working with adolescents.\nDescribe the impact of changing developmental stages in addressing ethical dilemmas with adolescents.\nUtilize ethical humility principles in communication with their clients to prevent\, assess\, and manage ethical dilemmas.\nDevelop a plan regarding professional consultation to address ethical dilemmas.\n\nAbout the Trainer\nLaura Gaines\, MSW\, LISW-S.\, is a trainer and researcher with a current focus on resilience as an individual and community skill.
