General Description
Child First is an intensive, interactive, 5-day course combining lecture and hands-on experience in forensic interviewing. During this time they will participate in a series of lectures and hands-on activities designed to explain and demonstrate the ZERO ABUSE PROGRAM forensic interview process for interviewing child abuse victims. The target audience is law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and child abuse professionals. Students will participate in an educational program that provides information about the manner in which children experience sexual abuse. At the culmination of the educational segment of the training, students will conduct a 30-minute interview with an actor playing the role of an abused child. Students will also interview a child about a non-abusive event. Both interviews will be critiqued by the Child First faculty.
