what we do

We are a 501c3 nonprofit forensic nursing and advocacy organization aiming to improve the care for victims of violence and maltreatment. We provide specifically trained nurses and advocates to our patients to ensure a quality and standard of care that otherwise may not be received.

“From Victims to Survivors”

Our priority is giving our patients the best care, evidence, and support possible. We also aim to fix the root cause through prevention presentations and trainings anywhere from office spaces to high schools.

We are a fully mobile organization with the ability to treat anywhere in rural Nevada.
