The presentation will focus on how to respond when someone presents to a medical organization following a sexual assault or domestic violence incident. It will discuss the health-related options, including timeframes for forensic exams and prophylaxis. This will include a discussion on what trauma-informed care entails and how to use it in your practice. This will allow a deeper understanding of the existing resources, as well as allow one to be more confident that they can respond and engage in a way that is helpful and empathic.
