November is Strangulation Awareness Month ⚠️
When we talk about strangulation, we often think of adult victims but children are also at risk.
Non-fatal strangulation is one of the most dangerous and under-recognized forms of abuse a child can experience. It can happen at home or as part of bullying or physical discipline.
If a child discloses that someone put hands or pressure on their neck, take it seriously.
👉 Seek immediate medical attention.
👉 Report the incident to law enforcement or child protection services.
Every child deserves to be believed and protected.
Raising awareness saves lives. Share this information: https://www.allianceforhope.org/training-institute-on-strangulation-prevention/resources/pediatric-signs-and-symptoms-of-strangulation
