How SANEs Help Victims of Sexual Assault

Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) play a vital role in providing compassionate healthcare and support to victims of sexual and domestic assault. SANEs conduct thorough forensic examinations while ensuring the physical and emotional well-being of survivors throughout the process. Women's health expert Kirtly Jones, MD, talks with Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Haley Lichtie, from Wasatch Forensic Nurses, about what it means to be a SANE and connecting survivors with resources for ongoing support and healing. For survivors, Dr. Jones and Haley also discussed Navigating the Sexual Assault Exam and the Journey to Healing. The National Sexual Assault Hotline can be reached at 1-800-656-4673.
