We often overlook the critical role that healthcare providers play in identifying signs of abuse. On the latest episode of The Evan Bray Show, Evan Bray welcomes Dr. James Frizzell (BSc, DDS, McGill Dental Forensics) to discuss his expert insights on Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and Human Trafficking in Canada.

Dr. Frizzell shares the research behind his new book, focusing on the often-invisible indicators of nonfatal strangulation and traumatic brain injuries. His work aims to standardize training for ER physicians, police, and legal professionals to ensure victims don’t fall through the cracks of our justice system.

Why this matters:

Dr. Frizzell highlights that nonfatal strangulation is one of the strongest predictors of future homicide in domestic violence cases. Awareness is the first step toward prevention.
