CELEBRATING RESILIENCE Meet Kindra Nelson, Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner at Mt. Sinai Hospital All year long, we’re celebrating the people who make #OurResilience possible and telling the stories of some of our biggest supporters. This month we're shining a spotlight on our Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Nurses. | |
“We need to start by believing. It is not our job as healthcare professionals to determine if a sexual assault occurred. It is our job to care for our patients." —Kindra Nelson | |
Message from the Executive Director The early months of a new year are a busy time for all of us at Resilience! We've been out in the community, speaking about the importance of supporting survivors with WGN, WVON 1690AM, After Hours W Rick Kogan, and Chicago Parent Magazine. As momentum for the MeToo movement continues to grow and national attention focuses on survivors who are challenging rape culture, we're elevating all the actions that people in our community take—public and private, individual and collective, big and small—to empower survivors and end sexual violence. I encourage you to learn more about how you can join us or deepen your involvement in our mission this spring. With a variety of events happening in March and Sexual Assault Awareness Month coming up in April, there are so many opportunities to get involved with Resilience and be a part of our efforts to end sexual violence. We welcome your support, in whatever way is right for you. Keep reading to learn more about how you can connect with us, and thank you for being a part of the Resilience community!
