In this workshop, presented by Gael Strack, Esq., advocates will learn how to: identify the signs and symptoms of strangulation in sexual assault cases; understand and recognize the anatomy and medical aspects of surviving and non-surviving victims; and enhance victim safety through trauma-informed advocacy services.
The Training Institute on Strangulation Prevention, a program of Alliance for HOPE International, was launched in October 2011. The Institute was developed in response to the increasing demand for Intimate Partner Violence Strangulation Crimes training and technical assistance from communities across the world.
The Institute provides training, technical assistance, web-based education programs, a directory of national trainers and experts, and a clearinghouse of all research related to domestic violence and sexual assault strangulation crimes.
