Testimonials
"I appreciate the various trainings you provided us on Multidisciplinary
Team (MDT) response to child abuse reports. When you facilitated an
Investigator Team Retreat, you recommended that we consider a
different model for conducting forensic interviews of children. We are
now training police and CPS workers as forensic interviewers. In
addition we have contracts with consultants for children ages 5 years
and under and children with special needs. You spoke about the more
widely used model of having in-house forensic interviewers who are
employed by the Center. During this past Legislative session, I
requested a new full time Forensic Interview Specialist position be
included in our budget. That position was approved.
During your training here, there was significant interest by partner
agencies in having the Center provide increased MDT services. I
requested a new full time Multidisciplinary Team Coordinator (Social
Worker) in our budget request. That position was approved.
Thank you for helping us enhance our response to child abuse cases
by sharing your national perspective."

“Mike is passionate and committed to protecting our children from
sex offenders. His advice in the [last] legislative session was
important in helping me pass “Ashley’s Laws.” If you have children,
or are responsible for their supervision, I would strongly recommend
that you hear what Mike has to say.”

“Mike Johnson is the BEST child abuse instructor I have ever seen.
His presentation is energetic, informative, and most important -
applicable immediately to the patrol officer, the investigator and the
prosecutor. I highly recommend Mike Johnson be considered as a
primary instructor in any child abuse instruction.”

"I've watched you do cartwheels (literally!) to gain a child's trust.
You've challenged many a caseworker and therapist to change their
views and, most of all, you've trained thousands of others to be
simultaneously thorough and compassionate. I can't even begin to
imagine the world without the gifts that you have brought to it. So
many children will lead healthy and productive lives because of you."
