Testimonials
“We are dealing with very difficult topics so having the structure, having a guide on some of the questions to ask, what kind of tools to use in different situations, can help you go through the interview in a more productive way.”

I personally was very impressed with the comprehensive, well organized and researched curriculum. By far this is a model submission and I commend you and your team for your efforts. I am pleased to tell you that the curriculum has been approved and will be included in the NCA list of approved programs. Great job and congratulations on a job well done.
I have recently had the opportunity to attend FIT training taught by Crimson and her highly trained team of forensic interviewers. The protocol addressed many of the gaps in other protocols and provided guidance on the many nuances that interviewers are faced with. It is heavily researched, thorough, and adaptable- allowing for a smooth transition into our CAC practice. The forensic interview team at BCAC was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and experienced. I highly recommend this course to any forensic interviewers- from those with no experience to those with years of experience.
I wanted to thank you for the week of FIT training this past June. I have gone to a lot of trainings in my time and the FIT training was one of the best I have ever had the opportunity to attend! Thank you so much for the thoughtful way you and your team constructed the training and all of the invaluable information you shared!
Please let me know if you decide to host another round of training geared towards preparing to testify in court – I would very much like to attend if this is offered.
Following an effective and outstanding training of the Forensic Interview Toolbox (FIT) Training in February (2020), attended by the Kent County Child Advocacy Centers (KCCAC) primary Forensic Interviewer and CAC coordinator, the KCCAC is utilizing the FIT guidelines in practice. The FIT guidelines provide excellent structure for the Forensic Interviewer to follow and perform best practice standards, allowing for narrative practice that is trauma-responsive. The KCCAC upon completion of the FIT training, has implemented FIT into practice for CAC referrals recommended for Forensic Interviews. Child victims served are disclosing more since we implemented the FIT guidelines as FIT has supported our process immensely (particularly pre-interview, narrative practice and open-ended question selection based on the case referral needs and barriers).
