Unseen Advocates - First Responder Training

“Unseen Advocates: The Vital Role of First Responders in Domestic Violence Response” is a 4-hour training designed to equip law enforcement, fire, EMS, and allied professionals with the
knowledge and tools to effectively respond to domestic violence incidents, with a focused emphasis on strangulation cases.
The program explores how non-physical and physical forms of violence impact victims, how trauma affects the brain and body, and why understanding these dynamics is vital for first
responders. Participants will learn how to recognize both visible and non-visible signs of strangulation, apply trauma-informed practices, ensure scene safety, and accurately document
findings.
Through interactive discussion, data-driven insights, and scenario-based exercises, The Unseen Advocates Program strengthens responder awareness, compassion, and collaboration, helping to
ensure that no survivor remains unseen or unheard.
