Diana Lynn Barnes, PsyD, and Gina Wong, PhD present a live virtual professional training program Advanced Training in Maternal Mental Health Forensics and Courtroom Testimony. This is the fourth program in the Maternal mental Health and Its Application to Forensics: Training the Expert Witness series.

This program provides hands-on techniques and strategies for preparing courtroom testimony through analysis of case transcripts and written reports from instructors’ case files. Didactic and experiential learning is emphasized, as well as the significance of educating the judiciary about the fundamentals of maternal mental illness and its psychiatric underpinnings.

This advanced program is practice and experiential-based, including role-play, small group discussions, and didactic learning focusing on preparing expert witnesses for courtroom testimony in maternal filicide cases. All licensed mental health practitioners, including psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, social workers, and MFTs, are suitable for this training.
