MDI Myth: Talking with Decedent’s Families is Simple and Routine
When working within a coroner or medical examiner’s office, engaging with the bereaved is a daily task. While this task can sometimes feel monotonous or routine, this webinar challenges this myth and shows that it should be anything but. It provides insight on the importance of a trauma informed approach to supporting all grieving individuals. It discusses the value of collaborating with trained professionals, such as victim advocates, and lessons learned from the presenters’ combined years of experience working with people experiencing trauma.
This webinar was hosted by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on September 26, 2024.
