Participants will observe the techniques play out in actual interviews and how they might reframe their questions and approach.
Finally, this training will explore biases and how they manifest during trauma-informed interviews and credibility assessments. Participants will learn about specific biases related to sexual harassment and sexual assault, how to combat such biases, and how prevent biases from influencing credibility assessments of the parties.
