CCJ addresses the training needs of multidisciplinary team professionals. The conference builds upon the participants’ experiences and teaches skill sets that can be used to improve and refine the team investigative process. Improving the investigative process increases the chance that a child and family will be referred to appropriate services and justice served to the perpetrators. The conference provides a unique opportunity for a diverse group of professionals from across the country to come together and learn how to better serve as advocates for abused children.
