Join us for an in-person learning session designed for frontline workers across Oxford County.

This session brings together a healthcare professional from St. Joseph’s Health Care and a detective from the Ontario Provincial Police to share their perspectives on identifying and responding to strangulation in the context of gender-based violence.

Through presentations and a moderated discussion, participants will learn:</p>

• How strangulation may be disclosed in healthcare and policing settings
• The medical risks and realities of strangulation
• How different systems respond when someone comes forward
• Available resources and reporting pathways
• How to better support survivors through coordinated responses

The event will conclude with a Q&A session.

• Annyse Alcock, St. Joseph’s Health Care
• Lisa Narancsik, Ontario Provincial Police
