Trauma-Informed Practice for Child Forensic Interviewers
Trauma-informed practice (TIP) is a critical component of child forensic interviewing. TIPs can reduce the negative impact that forensic interviews could have on survivors. They can also help interviewers adapt their memory-based interviews to meet the needs of traumatized individuals. This two-part webinar series will examine the impact of trauma on the brain and help interviewers translate the research on trauma into actionable, client-centered, trauma-informed practices.

Title: Trauma, the Brain, and the Investigation

Description: Part one will focus on the impact of trauma on the brain, with special attention given to how trauma affects survivors during investigations and forensic interviews. This knowledge is key to minimizing interviewer biases and errors.

Title: Trauma-Informed Practice
