 The SANE 365 campaign is designed to help develop or strengthen sexual assault medical forensic services in communities that need assistance. Knowing that it can still be a challenge to talk to facility administrators about ways to strengthen support for patients, IAFN created SANE 365 to highlight and support hospitals in understanding their responsibility in the care of patients who have experienced sexual violence.
Take a look at the SANE 365 Campaign and please use these resources to your advantage in your community.
