One of the most important forms of self-care for SANE nurses is the ability to debrief a case with an expert SANE.  Strengthening Forensic Nursing: a RE Lab Project is excited to offer free individual SANE case debriefing for both pediatric and adolescent/adult cases. 

Example topics of discussion include: how to integrate a trauma-informed approach, charting/documentation, photography, evidence collection, medications, discharge planning, resource recommendations for developing your individual SANE practice.
