SANE nurses are trained in forensics. Their training teaches them how to care for victims of sexual assault, walk them through their options and collect evidence, if the victim consents. This technique is incredibly important as this information must be performed in a standardized way in order to be allowed into court evidence if a victim decides to do that. SANE nurses can also respond to victims of domestic violence, intimate partner violence, and human trafficking through the SOAR (Strength, Opportunity, Autonomy and Resilience) program and help with safety planning, providing guidance on protection orders, gaining access to services, and documentation of abuse/violence. Raven Lance is nurse supervisor dedicated to the SANE (Sexual Assault Nurses Examiner) program at Nebraska Medicine and Ali Thomas is coordinator of the SOAR program. 

This event is sponsored by Nebraska Medicine People and Culture. CEUs will be available.
