Amy and Amanda have been working hard this week at the ChildFirst Forensic Interview Training. We are so proud of you two and glad to now have 2 forensic interviewers at the CAC!
This is a great step in addressing adverse childhood experiences! Let's hope California is the first of many states to take ACEs as the public health epidemic it truly is.
