The forensic interview is conducted in a child friendly environment by professionals trained in a wide spectrum of areas related to childhood development, sexual abuse dynamics and other issues pertaining to questioning children about allegations of abuse. Provided free, on-site counseling services, including individual, family, and group therapy, specifically targeting issues related to child abuse.
