Attention all professionals who
work with children and Families
C.A.S.T. curriculum was developed by multidisciplinary teams of
exceptional professionals to address perspectives on child abuse
and maltreatment, investigation and prosecution, and system’s re-
sponses to investigation and forensic techniques (from crime scene
to trial). In our San Diego Campus “Mock House” participants will
engage in scenarios involving real life cases that encourage individ-
uals to develop broader perspectives while refining collaborative
skills. Participants will learn from other professionals while strength-
ening techniques of best practices. Each two-day training module
builds on the previous, however, modules may be taken one at a
time or as needed. Travel Scholarships available see reverse for
more information.
