Summary: The purpose of the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE@CCH) program is to expand the number of registered nursed trained as SANE’s, in order to broaden access to the highest qualified physical and mental health care, improve evidence collection, and increase prosecution rates of sexual assault cases. Further, strengthening the capacity of SANE’s to provide high-needs services requires coordinate, interagency/disciplinary partnership. The SANE@CCH program aims to fortify existing partnerships with community agencies and stakeholders providing sexual assault services, and to forge new relationships with partners in law and government, criminal justice, mental health care, and community advocacy.
