Handling Difficult and Disturbing Forensic Cases for Coroners and Medical Examiners

Medical examiner offices handle cases that present both technical and psychosocial challenges. Psychosocial challenges include communicating with highly distressed families of decedents and addressing complex moral and emotional concerns raised by disturbing cases and mass fatality events. This webinar provides information and skills to enhance the capacity to address the psychosocial demands of medical examiner and coroner work.

This webinar was presented by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on October 17, 2019.
