Survivors Not Suspects: Professional & Advocate Edition — A Structured Guide for Recognition, Response, Documentation & Advocacy

Survivors Not Suspects: Professional & Advocate Edition is a structured educational and advocacy guide created for professionals and community members who support victims and survivors of domestic violence.

Designed for advocates, counselors, attorneys, court professionals, law enforcement officers, social workers, educators, clergy, medical professionals, community leaders, and other helping professionals, this guide focuses on four essential areas: Recognize. Respond. Document. Advocate.

The guide provides practical, trauma-informed information to help professionals better understand domestic violence, recognize patterns of coercive control and systems abuse, communicate with survivors without reinforcing harmful assumptions, document information objectively, and connect survivors with appropriate resources.

Topics include: domestic violence definitions and common forms of abuse; coercive control and systems abuse; trauma responses that should not automatically be interpreted as dishonesty; lethality and high-risk indicators; technology-facilitated abuse; confidentiality, consent, and reporting boundaries; children, custody, and court-appointed roles; court-system terminology; questions to ask survivors, law enforcement, and attorneys; police reports and documentation; objective documentation practices; evidence checklists; referral and follow-up planning; and advocate wellness and vicarious trauma.
