Project FORECAST
York County CAC and Penn CAC are excited to provide Project FORECAST (Foundations for OutReach through Experiential Child Advocacy Studies Training).
This free two-day training will provide the MDT with the opportunity to navigate through a simulation of a child abuse investigation.
Day 1 (virtual) - Wednesday, May 27th from 8:30am -12:30pm via Zoom (through PennCAC)
Day 1 will explore the 12 core concepts of understanding traumatic stress in children and families.
Day 2 (in-person) - Thursday, May 28th from 8:30am - 4:30pm at Newberry Township Police Department
- There will be a break for lunch on your own
Day 2, presented by Penn CAC will be a simulation of an abuse investigation: Go in-depth on a forensic investigation with the case of nine-year old Samara Green. Participants will learn how to identify, gather, and share information before making final recommendations for the case, such as determining the need for arrests or foster care. This scenario relies heavily on participant learning to carefully engage alleged offenders, while preserving the ability to gather further evidence.
