Assess training and technical-assistance needs for child-protection, missing-children, and victim-services partners
Design and deliver TTA, curricula, and practice tools for multidisciplinary teams serving children and families
Support coordination among law enforcement, child protective services, prosecutors, medical and mental-health providers, and advocacy organizations
Help partners improve protocols, case coordination, victim-centered practices, and program performance
Contribute specialist qualifications and past-performance narrative to WIL grant and sponsored-research packages when permissioned

Substantial experience in child protection, missing and exploited children response, child-abuse investigation support, or victim services for children

Strong facilitation, curriculum development, and report-writing skills
