Collaborative Child Abuse Response (CCAR) Training
This training is a first-of-its-kind, statewide training for Oregon’s multidisciplinary team members and fulfills statutorily mandated training requirements. This training will provide foundational information about collaborative child abuse assessment and cases, including general information about systems and processes. This training will improve understanding of the MDT process, including how forensic interviewers are trained, the best practices standards, and how to work with Children’s Advocacy Centers (CACs). This training will increase understanding of child development, memory and trauma, and how children tell about abuse.
The training has a focus on field response and is appropriate for all members of the multidisciplinary team. Participants may include law enforcement, child protective service workers, school officials, medical professionals, mental health treatment providers, CAC employees, juvenile department representatives, and others (ORS 418.747).
