Trauma-informed interviewing and working with highly vulnerable clients
Effective communication and rapport-building strategies
Questioning frameworks and models specific to asylum seekers
Techniques like using maps to refresh memory and create compelling narratives
Best practices for working with interpreters
How to interpret body language without misreading trauma responses
