Description:
Child forensic interviews often provide key evidence to guide further investigation and to support decisions made about whether to pursue criminal prosecutions in cases involving maltreatment, exploitation, or exposure to violence, as well as civil child protection interventions. Consequently, many professionals have an interest in how these interviews are conducted and can benefit from an understanding of best practices in child forensic interviewing. This knowledge-based training will provide an overview of foundational principles and basic concepts for any professional who wishes to learn about current best practices in child forensic interviewing and APSAC’s 2023 Practice Guidelines on Forensic Interviewing of Children.

Presenters: Patti Toth, JD, Julie Kenniston, MSW, LISW

Inspired by our commitment to deconstruct white privilege and address the issues of racism that permeate the child maltreatment field, the Commission for Racial Justice in Child Maltreatment will launch a Reading Club in 2021. Led by a diverse group of professionals, topics such as racism in psychotherapy, recognizing micro-aggressions in child maltreatment work, and addressing white supremacy culture, will be discussed. Please join us for what are sure to be important conversations as we share and reflect on the critical issue of promoting racial justice. The reading club is free to attend, regardless of APSAC membership.
