About The SIREN Center

SIREN Hears You

SIREN (Strangulation Injury Response and Evaluation) Center offers recognition, response, and protection. A siren is a signal that something is wrong—and that help is on the way. That is exactly what SIREN exists to provide. Strangulation and other forms of severe interpersonal violence often leave little or no visible injury, yet they can cause serious, life-threatening harm. Many survivors are told they “look fine,” even when their body and brain have been injured. SIREN was created to change that.

A Signal That You Matter

SIREN makes the invisible visible. We recognize injuries that are often missed and experiences that are too often dismissed. If you felt afraid, dizzy, confused, or like you couldn’t breathe—your experience matters, even if there are no marks.

A Path To Help

When a siren sounds, people respond. SIREN connects individuals to specialized medical care, trauma-informed support, and trusted resources—without judgment, pressure, or assumptions. You do not have to know what you need. We help you take the next step.

Restoring Voice and Safety

Strangulation is an act meant to silence. SIREN exists to help survivors be heard, believed, and supported. We provide a safe place to talk, to be examined, and to receive care—on your terms.
