Description

In this session, you will learn what a trauma-informed interviewing approach means and the practicalities of implementing such an approach.  We will explore how trauma-informed interview techniques help us obtain more accurate information with better details, while also ensuring a safe environment for the interviewee.  We will discuss how the techniques play out in actual interviews, how you might reframe questions and approach, and how you can challenge your own biases and preconceived notions as you navigate the interview.  Finally, we will spend time discussing credibility assessments and findings using a trauma-informed lens. 

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  1. Generate and ask trauma-informed questions
  2. Create a safe environment for interviewees
  3. Build trust with interviewees while maintaining your role as a neutral investigator
  4. Identify how (and if) trauma-informed considerations play out in your Investigative Report
