Welcome to The Lionhearted, a podcast featuring stories by the brave and badass people who spend their lives fighting the one thing absolutely no one wants to talk about—child sexual abuse. And that's why we call them the lionhearted.
In this episode our guest is child abuse expert Monica Borunda who is a licensed therapist, Professor of Child Abuse, Trauma, Law and Ethics at Cal State LA, and especially important for this conversation, she is a veteran forensic interviewer.
We will get into what a forensic interviewer does, but in short, forensic interviewers are trained to interview children (and adults with disabilities), who are suspected to have been abused, in a way that is trauma informed, developmentally and culturally appropriate, child-centered, non leading and legally defensible.
Monica has over 17 years experience and has conducted over 1600 forensic interviews. She shares the stories she cannot forget and the important lessons she has learned that will help you listeners better protect kids.
Trigger Warning:
