SUMMARY:Human Centric Interviewing
DESCRIPTION:Myra and Russ will deliver: \nThe goal of the HCI training is to develop the knowledge and essential skills required to conduct and document interviews with humans who may have experienced trauma and/or victimization. \nDevelopment of various types of interviews & interrogations\, child forensic interviews\, and trauma informed interviews have all paved the way in which we seek to understand the human experience of victims\, suspects\, and witnesses of crime and tragedy. As we continue to learn about human behavior\, memory\, impact of trauma\, neurodiversity\, intersectionality\, etc. we need to continue to apply advances in our knowledge and forge ahead to improve our practices. \nIt’s not just trauma or a traumatic experience we need to understand – it’s so much more – many other factors can affect ability and motivation to recall. We need to seek understanding and connection through an intersectional lens to better comprehend behavior and recall including past experiences\, neurodiversity\, complex trauma\, non-linear memory\, polychronic time\, environment\, and genetics to name just a few. We must connect with and understand the human in front of us as a human being facing what can sometimes be an inhuman system – we must be authentically human most of all.
