What an incredible week at our Summer ChildFirst® Oklahoma Training Event!

From August 24-28, 19 dedicated professionals from across the state came together to enhance their skills in child abuse investigations through intensive training, mock forensic interview observations, and peer-reviewed simulations.

We also welcomed seven forensic interviewers from CACs statewide for Tuesday's protocol update training.

A huge thank you to the six forensic interviewers who stepped into the role of actors during our mock interviews on Thursday and Friday. Your willingness to share your time and talents helped create a realistic learning experience for our trainees, and played a vital role in the success of this training.

We are proud to support these front-line child abuse investigators, prosecutors, and advocates as they continue their important work advocating for and protecting children throughout Oklahoma.

(and a continuous thank you to our ChildFirstOK faculty, you are great and we couldn't do this without you)
