Child Abuse: From Suspicion to Disclosure

This webinar will discuss the best approach with children who are alleged victims of child abuse in the initial phases of a case, after a concern has been identified.

Upon completion of this training, you will be able to:

• Identify examples of suggestibility and the impact is has on cases.
• Learn and/or improve foundational skills of engagement with potential child abuse victims to maximize positive outcomes of future cases.
• Develop a plan of action to help you identify situations and strategize interactions that minimize suggestibility and maximize positive outcomes for children.
