SUMMARY:First Witness | Training for Advocates Working with a CAC©
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nAn investigation of alleged child abuse and potential legal proceedings can be stressful for families. An advocate can provide much-needed support\, information\, and resources for families and non-offending caregivers. \nFirst Witness Child Advocacy Center’s advocacy program bridges the gap between individual advocacy with one victim and system-based advocacy that creates change for many victims. This contrasts with more restrictive advocacy models that are based on delivering services identified by practitioners and systems rather than victims. \nRegister via First Witness

SUMMARY:First Witness | Drawn to the Facts: Utilizing drawings in forensic interviews
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nMany tools can be used during forensic interviews such as anatomical diagrams\, anatomical dolls\, and things children draw during the interview. Utilizing drawings during forensic interviews can help the interviewer gain more information and understanding regarding what the child is discussing. The presenter will speak on multiple ways to use drawings during the interview and discuss what research says regarding utilizing drawings in forensic interviews. Real-life examples will be given\, and participants should walk away from this presentation with a better understanding of how children’s drawings during the interview can help provide the team with more information. \nRegister via First Witness

SUMMARY:First Witness | Reading the Room: The importance of understanding body language in forensic interviews
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nBody language makes up roughly 93% of our communication; thus\, making it a highly influential piece of interviewing. During the first half of this workshop\, participants will learn how to read interviewee body language cues in forensic interviews and to what extent they happen subconsciously. We will discuss how body language cues may be dependent on a child’s age\, gender\, culture\, abilities\, and experiences. Participants will also learn the importance of the role that body language plays in an interview. During the second half of this workshop\, participants will learn about interviewer body language. We will discuss subconscious interviewer body language and the possible implications this body language could have on the child being interviewed. Participants will learn how to be socially supportive in their body language while remaining neutral. Throughout this workshop\, we will discuss and watch case examples looking at prominent body language cues.
