This training is grounded in forensic interviewing best practices and adapted to meet the needs of children with mental health disabilities. While not exclusively designed for forensic interviewers, the course emphasizes ethical, developmentally appropriate, and trauma-informed interviewing techniques that support neutrality, reliability, and legal defensibility. Participants will examine common biases, mental health–related behaviors, pre-interview considerations, and effective question strategies. The training also addresses documentation, prosecutorial considerations, and how to articulate and defend interview methods and accommodations in court.
Training is available in a virtual format or in person if requested or based on interest.

DW Midwest Training offers specialized neutral interviewing instruction for professionals working outside traditional investigative systems. This course builds ethical, trauma-informed, and developmentally appropriate interviewing skills aligned with forensic-level standards used in law enforcement, child protection, and advocacy settings. Participants learn to conduct unbiased, non-leading interviews with vulnerable populations—including children and individuals with mental health needs—while maintaining professionalism, neutrality, and defensibility. Training is available virtually or in person when sufficient interest is established.
DW Midwest Training provides professional peer review services for interviews and case work involving vulnerable populations. We offer objective review of interview practices, case consultation, and guidance on next investigative or advocacy steps for professionals across mental health, education, advocacy, and related disciplines—using the same neutral, forensic-level standards applied in law enforcement and child protection settings.
