Video Summary
The webinar discusses the importance of teamwork and advocacy in the forensic nursing field, particularly for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. The presenters emphasize the need for collaboration and relationship-building between forensic nurses and community-based advocacy programs. They highlight the benefits of participating in sexual assault response teams (SARTs) and multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) to improve the overall response to survivors. Trauma-informed care is a key component of providing support to survivors, and the presenters discuss the importance of creating a safe and trusting environment, validating survivors' experiences, and incorporating cultural sensitivity and responsiveness. Privacy, survivors' voices and choices, and safety planning are also addressed as essential elements of trauma-informed care. The presenters stress the importance of collaboration and understanding between healthcare providers and advocates in providing trauma-informed care and support. They mention the availability of national protocols for sexual assault and intimate partner violence exams, which healthcare providers should familiarize themselves with. Ultimately, the goal is to better support survivors and provide them with comprehensive and survivor-led care.
