Strengthening Tribal Families through Collaboration Across Systems
In honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month, we invite you to a special statewide training on best practices for working with tribal systems in California for child and family wellbeing.
This two-part virtual event will bring together experts to explore both systemic challenges and community-driven healing approaches. A panel of experts will share insights on best practices for working collaboratively with tribal systems to support children and families. A second session will share lived experience with the foster care system and approaches for healing.
Central California Child Forensic Interview Training (CFIT)
The Child Forensic Interview Training for California is a four-day introductory course intended for new child forensic interview specialists. This course will introduce child forensic interviewing within the context of multidisciplinary team investigations; interviewer and team responsibilities; interview models and techniques; child development of language and cognition as it applies to interviewing; disclosure dynamics; childhood trauma as it relates to interviewing. Experiential exercises and role-play activities are interwoven throughout the four-day training. Video of actual interviews will be shown whenever possible. Completion of this course does not certify you to conduct child forensic interviews, consult your County CAC/MDIT for local requirements.
