TOOLKIT

TOPIC

Interviewing Skills

Add to your Briefcase

Not all tactics investigators learn during interview training are appropriate in victim interviews. Victims of sexual assault often disclose in layers. The interview process may cause victims further trauma. Trauma-informed approaches provide a compassionate, effective way for victims to disclose. These tools can help investigators or other practitioners who interview victims learn the background and skills they need to be successful in their role limiting re-traumatization. More resources coming soon!
