It's Thursday and that means we're premiering a new #weeklywebinar! This week, learn about Forensic Interviews and how they differ from Minimal Facts Interviews (which were the topic of last week's webinar. If you missed it, visit cacfingerlakes.org/weekly-webinars.) Forensic Interviews are one part of the child abuse investigation process.... The Child Advocacy Center of the Finger Lakes provides a child-friendly environment where trained professionals can perform forensic interviews. By providing age-appropriate rooms for forensic interviews to investigate allegations of child abuse, the CACFL can help minimize additional trauma to children. https://youtu.be/OATMbtBElJs #CACFL #preventchildabuse #investigation #interview #forensicinterview #MDT #keepkidssafe #listen #believe #survivors #education

OCTOBER IS SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME (SIDS) AWARENESS MONTH! >> Room sharing helps reduce the risk of #SIDS.
