June 24 Training, Supervision and Peer Review on Forensic Interviewers
Presenter: Linda Cordisco-Steele – Curriculum Chair and Senior Trainer for the National Children’s Advocation Center’s Child Forensic Interviewing Programs; she has a master’s in education and is a Licensed Professional Counselor.
Overview: Conducting a forensic interview of a child is a complex task demanding a broad array of skills and competencies. National and state-wide trainings serve to transmit and demonstrate the informational component, increasing attendees’ knowledge about good practices. This new knowledge does not automatically transform into internalized usable skills, as demonstrated by research. This workshop will present a format for ongoing training, supervision and peer review of interviewers.
