About the Forensic Interviewing Clinics
Our comprehensive Clinic offers a unique opportunity to participate
in an intensive training experience focused on the basic skills and knowledge necessary to conduct child forensic interviews. Participants will have personal interaction with leading experts in the field of child forensic
interviewing. Attendees must complete pre-clinic assignments and respond to communication from the Clinic Director prior to the event. There will be
homework and self-study assignments following each day of the Clinic. In order to receive a certificate of completion participants must complete mock child forensic interviews with actors and pass a test following the conclusion of the Clinic.
Members of existing multidisciplinary child abuse investigation teams including Child Advocacy Centers (CACs), professionals who are responsible for conducting child forensic interviews for police agencies and government-sponsored child protection agencies, and child abuse pediatric fellows are the target audience for APSAC’s Child Forensic Interview Clinics. The APSAC Clinic is an initial training for these professionals who conduct in-depth forensic investigative interviews of children who may have experienced or witnessed maltreatment, exploitation, neglect or other crimes. The Clinic is not appropriate for and will not accept professionals who conduct child interviews for other purposes.
To meet the criteria for attendance you must be one of the following:
Endorsed by a CAC as someone who is or will be responsible for conducting in-depth forensic interviews of children on a regular basis
Endorsed by a police agency as someone who is or will be responsible for conducting in-depth forensic interviews of children on a regular basis
Endorsed by a government-sponsored child protection agency as someone who is or will be responsible for conducting in-depth forensic interviews of children on a regular basis
A child abuse pediatric fellow
Upon completion of the Clinic you will need to be able to implement the training as a member of (or endorsed by) an existing CAC and/or multidisciplinary child abuse investigation team.(Exceptions are extremely limited and must be approved in advance by the Clinic Director and will only be considered on a space-available basis.) The APSAC Child Forensic Interview Clinic will be conducted in English and participants must be fluent in English. APSAC is unable to provide interpretation services.
