has partnered with the Gundersen National Child Protection Training Center and
New York State Office of Children and Family Services to provide Child Forensic
Interviewing Training across the state, which provides training in the
ChildFirst® Forensic Interview Protocol. The foundation of ChildFirst® is: the
best interest of the child. The training also includes child development,
memory and suggestibility, cultural considerations, working effectively as a
multi-disciplinary team (MDT), testifying in court, legal issues and preparing
children for court. This five-day classroom training course gives child abuse
professionals a comprehensive introduction to the forensic interviewing process
and teaches students to apply the latest research to real-life situations. </span><o:p></o:p></font></font></div>

component of the five-day course is mock interviews, which are conducted on the
Thursday and Friday of each week long training, during which each trainee
conducts an interview with a “child” one-on-one. For these mock interviews, we

for 3-4 adult actors (18 years & up) who would be interested and available to play several
