Testimonals from RADAR Users

"I am personally a survivor of sexual assault. In learning the RADAR Model, I wish that my counselor had spent the time in 'engagement and rapport building' that the RADAR Model teaches. As an adult, it was terrifying to speak about my trauma even with an adult I knew well, and I can't imagine how much easier it would have been for me at 21 years old to speak about my trauma if my counselor had spent extra time in engagement and rapport building like RADAR trains you to do." 

RADAR is a fantastic resource for new and experienced interviewers alike. As a new interviewer, I felt fully prepared for any FI because our trainers challenged and supported us throughout RADAR training. The rest of my team and I now refer back to the RADAR book frequently when preparing for interviews and peer reviews. The versatile protocol gives new interviewers the necessary foundation for conducting basic interviews, and gives experienced interviewers the ability to adapt it to complex FIs. 

RADAR was my preferred protocol throughout my two years as an interviewer. Specifically, I liked the structure. I felt more confident as a new interviewer using RADAR than I think I would have been in the other two models.

“I was surprised by how easy the Radar Interview is to learn and follow with just a little practice.”

"Great training.  Great ideas for working with little ones.  I love the flexibility of all the screenings."

"Patrol officers need this training.  Please laminate the FirstCall model.  It deserves that much respect!"
