SUMMARY:Expert Q&A: Interpersonal Violence and Strangulation
DESCRIPTION:Oct 10\, 2024 01:00 PM in Central Time (US and Canada)\n\n\nDescription:\nWhen conducting assessments or forensic exams with a victim of domestic violence\, any reported history of strangulation places the person at a higher risk for more serious violence or homicide at the hands of their intimate partner. Strangulation can have serious\, permanent\, or even fatal damage to a victim’s throat or brain (Vehling\, 2020). However\, healthcare providers can help mitigate long-term damage by recognizing signs of strangulation\, properly documenting any evidence of abuse\, and providing referrals for seeking safety assistance. How do you recognize the signs and symptoms of strangulation? What can you do after identifying a victim of strangulation?\n\nReference:  Vehling\, S. (2020). Why strangulation in domestic violence is a huge red flag. Shelter for Abused Women & Children. https://naplesshelter.org/strangulation\n\nTo register\, click here.

DESCRIPTION:NCVRW CAP intends to promote National Crime Victims’ Rights Week and to enhance the general public’s awareness of the rights and services for victims of all types of crimes.
