Sexual Assault Forensic Examination Telehealth (SAFE-T) Center Campus Community Collaborative

 This funding forms the SAFE-T Center Campus Community Collaborative to expand collaboration between local SANEs, and campus interdisciplinary partners to address gaps in SANE/SART (sexual assault response team) development, training and messaging to students to reduce barriers to reporting and seeking healthcare, and the integration of SANE knowledge and partnership as a resource in Student Conduct and Title IX proceedings.

Telehealth Equitable Access Model for Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (TEAM SAFE

Telehealth Equitable Access Model for Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (TEAM SAFE

This funding allows for an adaptation of our successful community-based SAFE-T program to provide expert SANE-led care to rural hospitals that are unable to maintain a local SANE-trained workforce. The program will provide secure, telehealth forensic technology and expert nurse consultation to untrained providers. Implementing and evaluating the impact of SAFE-T in the most remote, under resourced hospitals will provide important information that will be used to effectively scale and sustain programs so that all hospitals in need, regardless of volume and resources, can readily deliver high-quality, trauma-informed care to victims in their own communities.
