Strangulation is one of the deadliest forms of domestic and sexual violence. Survivors strangled by a partner are seven times more likely to be killed by that partner in the future.

In this training, you’ll learn to:

- Use risk assessment and safety planning tools
- Intervene early to help prevent long-term harms and future homicide
Who should attend this training? This interactive course is designed for professionals on the front lines of sexual and domestic violence, including victim advocates, social services providers, medical professionals, law enforcement, attorneys, and court staff. This training is free to attend, but registration is required.
