Description
While at the CPC, children will speak to a Forensic Interviewer who has experience talking to children and has special training in child development and forensic interview techniques. This interview is digitally recorded and is made available to law enforcement, child abuse investigators, prosecutors and medical/mental health professionals in order to reduce the number of times a child is interviewed about their abuse. During the child's interview, a Family Advocate meets with the child's family to provide crisis intervention, referrals for specialized medical and mental health services, and information about the investigation and legal process. The Family Advocate also provides ongoing support and information to families following the child's interview at the CPC. CPC provides short and long-term mental health modalities for children and their families.
