What is a forensic interview? 🦋

A forensic interview is a structured conversation conducted in a safe, child-friendly setting where children can share their experiences.

These interviews are led by trained professionals and help gather information in a way that is supportive, appropriate, and minimizes additional stress for the child. 💙
