WHAT WE DO

Forensic interviews are neutral and child-focused. Kids, teens, and even adults come to Cherish to talk with a forensic interviewer when there is a concern for safety. A professionally trained forensic interviewer will speak with the child or individual one-on-one to make them feel as comfortable as possible while having a developmentally appropriate and non-leading conversation. Follow the link below to learn more about what to expect when visiting Cherish.
