To kick off Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), we are taking a moment to recognize Start by Believing Day. 🔥

is a public awareness and action campaign designed by End Violence Against Women International - EVAWI to end the cycle of silence and change the way we respond to sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, and child sexual abuse.

'Start by Believing' is not just a set of words, but a person-centered and trauma-informed philosophy, protocol, and everyday practice.

Today we celebrate Certified Nurses Day to recognize the impact of our Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs). Their advanced training and dedication ensures that survivors receive compassionate and trauma-informed care when they need it most. Their efforts not only enhance patient outcomes but uplift the entire healthcare community.

We commend Jen B., Alisha, Katie, Karin, Alaine, Holly, & Bayley on their unwavering commitment to this specialty. We will continue to support the rest of our team as they work toward their own certification goals! 💜

Well, that happened in record time.

Folx, the artist call for our 3rd Annual Gender Joy Art Show held with is officially closed. Maybe it was our curator ability to connect to *amazing* local artists, maybe it was your *amazing* interest in showcasing your artistic talent or maybe it was an *amazing* combination of the two…either way, we are completely full with *amazing* artwork for our upcoming art show held at in May/June 2026. Thanks to all who entered their artwork.

Sometimes, we gotta RESIST WITH JOY. This is one of those times.
