If you, a family member or friend has been affected by strangulation our information leaflet provides details on what you need to know.

You are not to blame.
A victim who has been abused over a period of time may “normalise” the abuse. The abuser will blame the victim for what has happened.
Some people who have been strangled feel embarrassed or feel that they are to blame. This is never the case.
