Thinking about becoming a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE)? It’s one of the most meaningful roles in nursing, but also one of the most emotionally demanding.🩵
SANE nurses care for patients who have experienced sexual assault by providing:
• Trauma-sensitive medical care
• Forensic evidence collection
• Emotional support
• Documentation that may be used in court
Many people don’t realize that exams can take hours, shifts are often on-call, and nurses may testify in court years later.
But the impact of this work is powerful.🩵
Sometimes simply believing and supporting someone in their worst moment can make a lifelong difference.🩵
If you’re considering this path, it’s important to go in informed and prepared.
If you’re a SANE nurse, forensic nurse, or thinking about becoming one... what would you add?

Trauma "treatment" that forces a survivor to tell or relive their trauma in ways or on a timetable that is not chosen by the survivor, that the survivor is not in control of, or that serves the agenda, needs, or preferences of anyone but the survivor, is not ethical or effective.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Emerald Coast Victim Services Launches “Woven Resilience Shop” to Support Survivors and Women Entrepreneurs

Emerald Coast Victim Services is proud to announce the launch of the Woven Resilience Shop, a healing-centered marketplace designed to support survivors while uplifting female-owned businesses.

Created as a mission-driven initiative of Emerald Coast Victim Services, the Woven Resilience Shop features handmade and thoughtfully curated products from women entrepreneurs and artisans.

A portion of purchases directly supports programs that provide advocacy, education, and trauma-sensitive support for individuals affected by violence.

The concept behind the shop reflects the belief that healing and community support are deeply interconnected.

“Every item in the shop represents more than a product,” said Dr. Amanda Davis, founder of Emerald Coast Victim Services. “It represents strength, resilience, and women coming together to support one another. When someone makes a purchase, they’re helping sustain survivor services while also uplifting small businesses led by women.”

Through this initiative, Emerald Coast Victim Services hopes to create a platform where local and online female-owned businesses can showcase their work while contributing to a broader mission of healing and empowerment.

The Woven Resilience Shop operates through a collaborative vendor model, allowing participating businesses to manage their own storefronts while committing to a donation model that supports Emerald Coast Victim Services programs.

Community members can explore the shop and learn more about the mission at:
https://pin.it/wF8MFPRUO

Organizations and female-owned businesses interested in becoming vendors or partners are encouraged to reach out to learn more about collaboration opportunities.

About Emerald Coast Victim Services
Emerald Coast Victim Services is a nurse-led nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing the health effects of violence and trauma through survivor support, advocacy, community education, and trauma-informed initiatives across Northwest Florida.

We are inviting our valued community partners who stood with us last year and those who would like to join to stand with us in recognition of Black Balloon Day — a day of remembrance, awareness, and unity for lives lost and families impacted.

We would be honored to have your organization or business participate by creating a visible display at your location in representation of this important day.

🖤 Black balloons can be provided:
• Thursday, March 5th (Deflated) – for you to prepare your own display
• Friday, March 6th (Helium Filled) – ready for immediate setup

We ask that you thoughtfully prepare a display in representation — whether in your lobby, storefront, office space, or window — to help spark awareness and show solidarity throughout our community.

Together, when our spaces are filled with black balloons, they become more than décor.
They become a statement.
A remembrance.
A united voice—echoing the voices we have lost

If your organization/business would like to participate, please comment below or send us a message so we can coordinate delivery.

Thank you for standing with us. 🖤

We may not get along with someone, or we may think they aren't a good person, but that doesn't mean we should doubt their experience. Someone can be displaying signs of a mental illness, but that doesn't mean something traumatic couldn't, or shouldn't have happened to them. Sexual violence is never, ever deserved.

How we feel about sexual violence and survivors shouldn't be conditional.

📣Important Update from Emerald Coast Victim Services, Inc.

We want to inform our community that the *Emerald Coast Victim Services website is currently unavailable.

Due to a technical issue with our hosting platform, the website that previously existed at https://www.emeraldcoastvictimservices.org is no longer accessible, and the original files appear to have been lost.

We understand how important the website has been as a place for community members to learn about our programs, events, and resources for survivors. While this is a significant setback, our mission and services continue uninterrupted.

Emerald Coast Victim Services remains committed to supporting survivors, strengthening community partnerships, and expanding access to trauma-sensitive care and education.

At this time, we are beginning the process of rebuilding our website so that our programs and resources can once again be easily accessible to the community.

**If you are a web designer, developer, or someone experienced in nonprofit website development and would be willing to volunteer your time or expertise, we would greatly appreciate your support.**

This was a very large endeavor for our Fiunder when she built it herself in 2021.

Please contact us at:
📧 Emeraldcoastvictimservices@gmail.com
or send us a direct message.

Thank you for your continued support of Emerald Coast Victim Services and the work we do in our community.

A two-day healing and empowerment forum hosted by for survivors, advocates, and healthcare professionals. Through expert speakers, somatic therapy, and trauma-informed/ sensitive care, we gather to reclaim voice, power, and community.

🩵 Filling Our April Calendar – Sexual Assault Awareness Month

🩵 April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

And we are actively filling our calendar with:

- Community education sessions
- Table events
- Townhall
- City events

We’ve seen firsthand how access to education changes outcomes.

When communities understand trauma, survivors experience less harm — medically, emotionally, and socially.

Prevention starts with conversation.
And conversation starts with leadership.

We are always ready to show up — not just in April, but consistently throughout the year. We are consistent in that. 🩵
