Thanks for reaching out. Here’s a brief bit about who we are.

 

Finding Words NJ is a division of the New Jersey Children’s Alliance. Our purpose is to teach law enforcement, prosecutors, and child protective services how to conduct a forensic interview when there is an allegation of child sexual abuse. The major training is a 5-day course that discusses not only the protocol but also provides some mental health background information as well as things people can do with the information once it has to go to court. The training combines lectures with hands-on practical exercises. Attendees for this course must pass the final exam in order to get their certificate. The protocol we use in the state of NJ is from the Zero Abuse Project and is called Child First®.

 

This is a 5-day training. On Day 1 – 3, we teach the Mental Health, the Protocol, and the Legal activities associated with child sexual abuse. Actors are brought in on Day 4 and 5, and the class will be divided into teams. The attendees are then doing role playing sessions and conducting interviews. The actors will be portraying a child who has experienced abuse. The sketch will be about 30 min. The actor will rotate through the groups. Each actor portrays 2 different characters.

 

We have 2 rates for our actor compensation, based on distance from the training site. We also provide hotel, if desired. Actors will need to go through 2 days of training, listening to the Mental Health and the Protocol sessions. They will sit in with the attendees. We will take time during the lunch break to go over any questions that they may have. Actors will also be compensated for time spent in training.

 

We conduct 6 trainings each year and all actors are welcome to attend. You can find more information on our website. https://www.findingwordsnj.org/actor-recruitment Additionally, here is the actor application form.

 

Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

 

Thank you and kind regards,
