- Remind them that none of this is their fault
- Ask children to repeat back the information in their own words, so you can assess if they understood fully
- Encourage children to ask as many questions as they'd like
- Give children the chance to make decision whenever possible, even about seemingly minor things such as where each person sits, when to take a break, or which topic to discuss first. This can help restore their personal agency and give power to their decision-making. ]]> 2023-04-05 19:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/probation08vraweek/rnixebmzz38ltuqr/wish/2545393009 Graphic Novel designed for Victims Ages 13-18 amandapenley01 https://padlet.com/probation08vraweek/rnixebmzz38ltuqr/wish/2545403716 Explore and share this resource with teenagers in your life who are tasked with navigating the court system as a victim or witness to a crime.
