Soft Interview Rooms
Responding to all survivors the way you’d want your loved one responded to.
“What others see as an inconvenience is for the victim an endless nightmare”
– Anonymous
Trauma Informed Interviewing
Because we should not interview survivors in the same room we interrogate suspects
- Helps survivors provide more comprehensive information.
- Reduces the chance of re-traumatization.
- Facilitates a warm handoff to advocates.
- Gives time and consideration to the survivor’s needs, wishes, and concerns throughout the medical, advocacy, and criminal justice response
- Improves overall outcomes.
Victim Centered
To encourage survivors of violence to come forward, to give them a safe space, and to let them know that we will do everything that we can to help them with that process.
