OVC, in collaboration with the International Association of Forensic Nurses and a diverse group of federal partners and subject matter experts in the field, revised and enhanced the Guide and transformed it into a web-based, interactive, comprehensive tool to bring the latest findings and best practices to the field. The original Guide served as a blueprint for hundreds of communities to develop local SANE programs, and OVC anticipates that this updated, web-based Guide will continue to serve as a practical, research-based, trauma-informed source for developing new SANE programs and enhancing and sustaining existing programs across the country.
