The International Association of Forensic Nurses Foundation is a nonprofit organization that advances access to trauma-informed care from highly-specialized nurses in the aftermath of violence.
Violence is pervasive globally and has a lasting, devastating impact on individuals and communities.
We work with nurses and communities to ensure that every survivor of violence around the world has access to a forensic nurse with the skills, resources and training to provide the highest quality care. In doing so, we aim to reduce the short- and long-term impacts of violence.
