A trauma-informed investigation takes into account different conditions such as shock, denial, memory loss, or withdrawal that may interfere with the interviewee’s ability to clearly articulate their experience. Investigators are missing the opportunity to solicit the most objective version of a reporting party’s story if they do not consider developing a fact-finding strategy that is also trauma-informed.
Join us online to learn how to create a safe space for all parties in the high stakes of a trauma case. Creating this environment through carefully chosen words and actions will help you elicit better responses that lead to more productive investigations.
