Join the Minnesota Indian Women’s Coalition for a free webinar called “Caring for Native Survivors: Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Exam”

You must register for this event. Please visit the website for more information. 

“This webinar explores how to provide high-quality survivor-centered medical forensic care and advocacy for Native survivors of sexual assault.

The core principles of a trauma-informed care remain the same, but providing healing-centered care for Native survivors requires understanding the unique experiences, varied identities, and sovereign status of Native communities.

The life circumstances and needs of Native survivors vary widely. They may live in rural, urban, or Tribal settings, and they have very different connections to culture and community. This session will highlight how professionals can provide appropriate care, honor survivor choice, and offer meaningful support — without making assumptions.

This webinar is part of the Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Exam (SAMFE) Virtual Practicum, an interactive training series that covers each step of the medical forensic exam and beyond.”
