Reviewing a child sexual assault case from 2004-2006, this unique presentation taught by a child sexual abuse survivor and a forensic psychologist walks you hand-in-hand from forensic interview to trial. You will learn how to avoid common pitfalls to prevent re-traumatization of the survivor and how to support a survivor despite what happens in the process, in a profound way, with wisdom from her own experience.
Learning Objectives:
Walk through and expand on what the Forensic Interview Process (CAC model) is like from the lens of a survivor who was interviewed 18 years ago (2004).
Explain from both a personal and psychological perspective the impact the criminal justice process has on survivors of crime.
Gain knowledge about the emotional/psychological impact through research and experience from a survivor and a psychologist.
