National Forensic Interviewers Week was observed from July 6–10, 2026. The annual week honors professionals at Child Advocacy Centers (CACs), law enforcement agencies, and partner organizations who conduct specialized interviews to help children share their experiences in safe, trauma-minimizing environments.

Yesterday, the Orange County CAC celebrated our dedicated MDT members and forensic interviewers with ice cream cake! We can't thank our team and partners enough for all the incredible work that they do!
