Forensic  Interviews

​Forensic Interviews :  A Forensic Interview is a  developmentally sensitive, legally sound way of gathering factual information . The Certified Forensic Interviewers interview children in cases of alleged sexual abuse, severe physical abuse, and/or exposure to other traumatic situations such as domestic violence or being a witness to a violent crime. These interviews are conducted jointly with case assigned multidisciplinary team members observing through a closed circuit television system and submitting questions as needed. The forensic interviewers are specifically trained through a rigorous program provided by the National Children's Advocacy Center in Huntsville, AL. They take every measure possible to minimize trauma and distress while ensuring that carefully crafted non-leading and non-biased questions are asked to clarify abuse disclosure information.
