This week, we proudly recognize Forensic Nurses Week and honor the incredible SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) nurses and forensic programs across Centre County who provide compassionate, trauma-informed care to survivors of sexual violence. 💙

As we wrap up #DVAM, we thank our partners & communities who rallied together to #supportsurvivors and raise needed money toward stopping domestic violence. 💜 Our fight to end domestic violence doesn't end here. Visit wl.donorperfect.net/weblink/webl... to donate to our life-saving efforts!

When graphic details are shared publicly regarding the death of an individual due to domestic violence, you may cause immense pain to loved ones and those impacted by domestic violence. Give a content warning and list resources like Centre Safe.
