Strangulation ​has ​been ​identified ​as ​one ​of ​the ​most ​lethal ​forms ​of ​domestic ​violence ​and ​sexual ​assault. A victim who is strangled just one time is 80% more likely to be murdered later by that same abuser.

This training will be provided by leading experts in America: Casey Gwinn, J.D., former elected City Attorney of San Diego & official trainer of the Florida Supreme Court and Gael Strack, J.D., Alliance for Hope CEO & national strangulation expert.

This course will aid in the identification, investigation, and documentation of strangulation in intimate partner violence cases. It will cover the following:

  • Use of experts in court
  • Tools and resources for advocates
  • Understanding the lethality of strangulation
  • Resources and handouts developed by the Institute
  • Legal aspects of strangulation cases with surviving victims
  • Identifying the signs and symptoms of strangulation cases
