To force someone to hug or kiss someone they barely know, what kind of message is that?" Essenburg said. Goulet agreed that there’s an incredible need for the center Essenburg dreams of. In hosting training sessions and attending them, there’s a "hunger" among prosecutors and front-line workers for information on how to best handle cases, he said.
