Download Webinar Handouts

Presented by: The Shasta County Strangulation Response Team and Casey Gwinn, JD. For years, multidisciplinary teams have worked together in the field of child abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, elder abuse and human trafficking.

Multidisciplinary teams have been extremely successful across the United States because at the heart of a MDT is a group of professionals from diverse disciplines who come together to provide comprehensive assessment and consultation in abuse cases. While their primary purpose is typically to help team members resolve difficult cases, teams may fulfill a variety of additional functions – including implementation of a new law.

In this webinar, a panel from Shasta County will discuss the development and operation of a new emerging multi-disciplinary team – the Strangulation Response Team.
