Videoconferencing Supports Victims of Child Abuse
August 20, 2008 | | Leave a Comment
This is an interesting article about the use of videoconferencing in Minnesota:
Back in 1999, the Midwest Regional Children’s Advocacy Center in St. Paul had an idea of how to bring together children’s advocates that were located in rural areas without the access to peer support, professional development and key services that those in metropolitan areas enjoyed…
That idea was videoconferencing and the program has grown to include over 70 U.S. locations. Videoconferencing helps multidisciplinary teams and professionals respond to allegations of child abuse and conduct peer review for forensic interviewers and work with medical examiners and providers.
