Trauma-informed care recognizes how trauma affects the brain and often keeps domestic violence survivors in "survival mode," even after the abuse itself is over. It offers survivors a chance to rebuild the connections and trust that were fractured by abuse and betrayal. Learn more about the principles of trauma-informed care: https://bit.ly/2o28MA8

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we thank our partners, forensic nurses, and allies for all they do.

As a forensic nurse, mental health awareness is not only important for the population you serve but for yourself and your peers. Many people often do not know where to start when it comes to getting help. Mental health is important and taking the first step can feel overwhelming. The "Learn. Act. Advocate" campaign can help to better understand how to take those first steps.
