[Amy L Kerr]

Since 2017 Research Foundation of SUNY Professional Development Programhas partnered with the Gundersen National Child Protection Training Center andNew York State Office of Children and Family Services to provide Child ForensicInterviewing Training across the state, which provides training in theChildFirst® Forensic Interview Protocol. The foundation of ChildFirst® is: thebest interest of the child. The training also includes child development,memory and suggestibility, cultural considerations, working effectively as amulti-disciplinary team (MDT), testifying in court, legal issues and preparingchildren for court. This five-day classroom training course gives child abuseprofessionals a comprehensive introduction to the forensic interviewing processand teaches students to apply the latest research to real-life situations. 
 
A principalcomponent of the five-day course is mock interviews, which are conducted on theThursday and Friday of each week long training, during which each traineeconducts an interview with a “child” one-on-one. For these mock interviews, weuse adult actors to portray the children.
 
We have a training coming up the week of April 30th in Albany, and are needing actors for both Thursday and Friday. The actors are needed about 11:00am – 5pm on Thursday May 3rd and 7:45am – 12:15pm on Friday May 4th (we will know exact times as the training gets closer).  This is a paid job. If an actor's mileage from home to the training site is less than 50 miles one-way, reimbursement is $175 total.  If the mileage from home to the training site is 50 miles or more one-way ,reimbursement is $295 total. 

We are lookingfor 3-4 adult actors (18 years & up) who would be interested and available to play severaldifferent children who are interviewed by course trainees. Using scenarios weprovide, each actor develops the necessary backstory for each child and needsto be prepared to answer questions in character and age appropriately.
