About this Event

Advanced Forensic Interview Training

This training is designed to provide multiple opportunities for professionals to expand the scope of expertise surrounding their forensic interviewing practice. Topics have been selected based on requests from the field and will build upon the foundational knowledge and skills that learners have developed to this point. There are a limited number of online activities that need to be completed prior to the in-person CornerHouse training. These activities are intended to establish a shared foundation and allow learners to focus on the application of research- and practice-based knowledge and information during the in-person portion of the curriculum. All learners are requested to bring a forensic interview recording for review.

Learners who complete CornerHouse's Advanced Forensic Interview Training will:

Engage in the process of peer review and consultation, for the purpose of increasing skills and knowledge as well as increasing familiarity with the significance of the process.
Develop a solid foundation to effectively speak to the basics and the complexities of forensic interviewing, particularly in a legal setting.
Enhance their capacity to adjust, address or negotiate the numerous challenges presented in a wide range of forensic interviews.
Increase interviewing skills and abilities in regard to target populations, including adolescents, children with unique needs and varying abilities and witnesses to crimes.
