Five members of the Ozark R**e Crisis Center staff, received notification today that their HCI™ Capstone has been successfully completed and approved, and they are now officially certified in the Human-Centric Forensic Interviewing™ methodology. This was developed by Russell and Myra Strand and is a comprehensive interviewing methodology for individuals who have experienced trauma or victimization.
This 45-hour immersive course blends foundational science, evidence-informed interviewing practices, and hands-on experiences to help elicit accurate, detailed narratives from interviewees. The Human-Centric Interviewing™ methodology is preapproved by the National Children's Alliance as a trusted child forensic interview source and by the National Advocate Credentialing Program. We are thrilled to be among the first certified interviewers in the state of Arkansas. Many thanks to the Arkansas Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Myra and Russ Strand with StrandSquared for their amazing opportunity.
