Strangulation impacts all professionals working on sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking cases. Today, we know unequivocally that strangulation is one of the most lethal forms of domestic violence. Unconsciousness may occur within seconds and death within minutes.
During this 2-hour webinar, our hosts and faculty will discuss lessons learned, best practices, new research, and resources available for family violence and sexual assault professionals. Subtopics will include the following:
  • New research, case law, and resources & tools
  • Best practices for identifying, documenting, investigating and prosecuting strangulation cases through medical, legal, law enforcement and advocacy trends
  • Highlights & Emerging issues from 2021
  • Promising Practices & Upcoming Trainings
Who should attend: This webinar is based on our training focus areas: Lethality, History, Medical, Investigation, Prosecution, Advocacy, Implementation & Best Practices. It is designed for professionals who have attended one of our prior trainings. Our goal is to provide prior attendees an update and refresher of key points, but whether you are a prior attendee or this is your first training, there will be something for everyone!
