Extended Forensic Interview Training
 Forensic interviews are an integral component in child abuse investigations, and the multidisciplinary team (MDT) seeks to eliminate duplicate interviews whenever possible. However, circumstances arise, and some cases may necessitate a multi-session interview or Extended Forensic Interview (EFI). Register now to learn how EFIs are used:- to explore complicated or multifaceted allegations of abuse,
- for children where there is suspicion of abuse but the child has difficulty with a single session interview, or
- for children with developmental delays to ensure an extended timetable for developmental assessment.
There are a few seats left for the Extended Forensic Interview Training scheduled for October 18-20, 2016 in Seattle, WA.

Exploring the Lived Experiences of Supervising Child Protection Social Workers
Social workers in child protective services often handle hundreds of cases regarding children traumatized by abuse and/or neglect. Over time, social workers' experiences can become emotionally and psychologically challenging. A problem for supervisors of child protection social workers (SCPSWs) is that they might experience the same challenges; however, there was no research that described the lived experiences of SCPSWs.
