Kurland is an Attorney Advisor with Aequitas\, a program of the National Institution on the Prosecution of Domestic Violence  \nPrior to joining AEquitas\, Jonathan worked in the District Attorney’s Office of Berks County\, Pennsylvania where he started as a line Assistant District Attorney and prosecuted the range of cases typical for a jurisdiction with a combination of urban\, suburban\, and rural communities. However\, over time\, Jonathan’s focus increasingly trended to violent crime and cases involving the most vulnerable and exploited of victims. When Jonathan left after sixteen years in the District Attorney’s Office to join AEquitas\, he was the Chief Deputy District Attorney and supervised\, advised\, and still prosecuted matters involving intimate partner violence and homicides\, sexual violence\, child abuse\, and grand jury investigations.    \nThursday\, February 16\, 2023\, 1:30 – 3:30pm \nCape Cod & Islands Assoc. of Realtors Conference Room\n222 Mid-Tech Dr.\, West Yarmouth 02673 \nThis is an in-person meeting and there is no virtual option.  \nAll are welcome!      RSVP appreciated but not required.  \nRSVP to https://bit.ly/StrangulationinIPVRelationships \nFor questions\, please contact cherylc@indhouse.net .    \nThe CIRDVC is comprised of human service and social justice organizations\, prosecution\, corrections\, probation and law enforcement agencies\, health care\, court personnel\, attorneys and concerned individuals that meet quarterly for the purposes of networking and professional development regarding the issues that surround domestic violence.  URL:https://independencehouse.org/event/strangulation-in-intimate-partner-relationships-cirdvc-quarterly-meeting/ LOCATION:Cape Cod and Islands Association of Realtors\, 222 Mid-Tech Drive\, West Yarmouth\, MA\, 02673\, United States CATEGORIES:meeting,Training,workshop END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230216T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230216T100000 DTSTAMP:20260403T134747 CREATED:20230119T161943Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230212T012218Z UID:5137-1676538000-1676541600@independencehouse.org SUMMARY:Press Conference DESCRIPTION:DATE: Thursday\, February 16\, 2023\nTIME: 9:00am (expected to run 1 hour). \nLOCATION:  Mary Pat Flynn Conference Room at the Barnstable County Court Complex\, 3195 Main Street\, Barnstable.  \nIn collaboration with Congressman William Keating’s Office.  URL:https://independencehouse.org/event/press-conference/ CATEGORIES:meeting END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230216T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230216T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T134747 CREATED:20230105T144554Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230105T144554Z UID:5088-1676534400-1676566800@independencehouse.org SUMMARY:POP-UP Monomoy Regional High School DESCRIPTION:Our Pop-Up Tuesday’s were so popular and well received last year in 2022 across the Cape that we’ve created a month of Pop Ups this February.

Lack of visible injury can result in the misidentification of strangulation injury and an inability for medical professionals to provide meaningful intervention and treatment. In the absence of visible injury\, other telltale symptoms may be present\, and it is critical for law enforcement officers and other first responders who interface with victims in the aftermath of an assault to be able to identify these symptoms of strangulation as a component of the violence. \nThis presentation will address common myths and misconceptions related to strangulation injury and focus on the signs and symptoms of strangulation injury\, medical evaluation and documentation\, delayed fatalities\, and risk factors. \nPresenter:Jonathan H. Kurland is an Attorney Advisor with Aequitas\, a program of the National Institution on the Prosecution of Domestic Violence \nPrior to joining AEquitas\, Jonathan worked in the District Attorney’s Office of Berks County\, Pennsylvania where he started as a line Assistant District Attorney and prosecuted the range of cases typical for a jurisdiction with a combination of urban\, suburban\, and rural communities. However\, over time\, Jonathan’s focus increasingly trended to violent crime and cases involving the most vulnerable and exploited of victims. When Jonathan left after sixteen years in the District Attorney’s Office to join AEquitas\, he was the Chief Deputy District Attorney and supervised\, advised\, and still prosecuted matters involving intimate partner violence and homicides\, sexual violence\, child abuse\, and grand jury investigations. \n  URL:https://independencehouse.org/event/staff-in-service-strangulation-in-intimate-partner-relationships/ LOCATION:Independence House\, Inc.\, 160 Bassett Lane\, Hyannis\, MA\, 02601\, United States CATEGORIES:meeting,Training END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230213T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230213T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T134747 CREATED:20230105T144345Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230105T144345Z UID:5084-1676275200-1676307600@independencehouse.org SUMMARY:POP-UP Sturgis West High School DESCRIPTION:Our Pop-Up Tuesday’s were so popular and well received last year in 2022 across the Cape that we’ve created a month of Pop Ups this February.

During this workshop we invite you to join us in a process\, not product\, focused creative experience. Our goal is to promote and enhance physical\, emotional and mental health through use of creative and expressive art. We hope to decrease symptoms of depression\, anxiety and stress while increasing self-awareness and self-esteem. This group is a non-judgmental\, healing space to be creatively brave in. We will use various prompts each month to assist participants in getting to what is calling to be expressed. We are more than the trauma/abuse/pain we have suffered. We are whole people with full and diverse life experiences. Expressing ourselves creatively can get to the beauty and power of who we truly are. \n  URL:https://independencehouse.org/event/creative-expressions-workshop-feb-9/ LOCATION:Cultural Center of Cape Cod\, 307 Old Main Street\, South Yarmouth\, MA\, 02664\, United States CATEGORIES:workshop END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230209T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230209T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T134747 CREATED:20230105T144109Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230105T144109Z UID:5080-1675929600-1675962000@independencehouse.org SUMMARY:POP-UP Falmouth High School DESCRIPTION:Our Pop-Up Tuesday’s were so popular and well received last year in 2022 across the Cape that we’ve created a month of Pop Ups this February.
