🩺 Happy Forensic Nurses Week! 🩺

This week, we recognize the incredible forensic nurses and Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs) who provide care, comfort, and compassion to individuals during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

From caring for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse, and elder abuse to carefully documenting injuries, collecting critical evidence, and providing expert testimony, your work makes an immeasurable difference.

Your dedication goes far beyond medical care. You give survivors a voice, preserve their dignity, advocate for their needs, and help pave the way toward healing and justice.

**Thank you for the compassion you show, the expertise you bring, and the difference you make for survivors every single day.** Your work matters, and so do you! 💙

Help us celebrate! Tag a forensic nurse or SANE who deserves a little extra recognition this week! ⚕️⚖️

Celebrating 10 Years of Rebecca Navarro! 💙

Today we get to celebrate a pretty incredible milestone. 10 years of Rebecca Navarro serving as part of the heart and leadership of Virginia’s House/Dr. Goodall’s House.

As our Director of Programs, Rebecca has spent the last decade supporting this work, supporting her team, and helping carry a mission that asks a lot from the people who choose to do it.

Rebecca has a way of showing people they matter. She notices hard work. She expresses appreciation. She listens. She shows empathy when it counts, and she supports her team through both the professional and personal seasons of life.

Ten years is more than an anniversary. It is years of showing up, problem-solving, adapting, encouraging, leading, laughing, navigating hard days, celebrating good ones, and investing in the people and families this organization serves.

Rebecca, we hope you know how much your leadership, support, and appreciation have meant to the people who have had the opportunity to work beside you.

Happy 10-Year Anniversary, Rebecca!

Today, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated police officers who serve and protect our communities throughout Stephens and Young counties.

Sometimes the people who seem the strongest are the ones who need someone to check in the most. 💛

The friend who always says, “I’m fine.”
The person who is always there for everyone else.
The one who seems happy, capable, and like they have it all figured out.
The person navigating a change you may not fully see.

A simple “How are you, really?” can mean more than we realize.

Today, take a moment to check in on someone.. not because they’ve asked for help, but simply because you care. 🫶

Connection matters. Kindness matters. Showing up matters.🧡💚

Here's what you'll learn:
✔️ How to recognize the signs of child abuse and neglect

✔️ Your responsibilities under Texas law

We're grateful to our fellow Texas Child Advocacy Centers for creating and sharing this training so more adults have the knowledge and confidence to help protect children.

💙 Mandated Reporter Monday 💙

Did you know that in Texas, every adult has a legal responsibility to report suspected child abuse or neglect?

Many people believe only teachers, doctors, counselors, or law enforcement are required to report. The truth is, if you have reason to believe a child is being abused or neglected, you have a duty to make a report.

You do not need proof. Reporting a suspicion could be the first step toward safety, healing, and hope for a child.

Here's what to remember:
✅ Every adult has a duty to report suspected abuse or neglect.
✅ Never assume someone else will make the report.
✅ Reports made in good faith are confidential and protected by law.
✅ If a child is in immediate danger, call 911 immediately.

If you suspect abuse or neglect:
📞 Texas Abuse Hotline: 1-800-252-5400 (available 24/7)
💻 Report online: www.txabusehotline.org

One report can change a child's story.
