Join us on Saturday, October 28 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Bon Secours Violence Response Team! Funds raised through this event will support the Bon Secours Violence Response Team (formerly Forensic Nursing Program). The Violence Response Team forensic nurses and advocates provide care for children and adults who have experienced sexual assault, physical assault, strangulation, or hum

an trafficking. They are leaders in the healthcare needs of victims of violence, including identifying and documenting injuries, evidence collection, case management and safety planning. In addition to serving as a liaison to community partners such as law enforcement, and victim services, the forensic nurses provide crucial expert witness testimony in court and ongoing community education and awareness.

Every survivorโ€™s story matters. ๐Ÿ’œ

In this video, survivor Ava shares her experience and the impact the Violence Response Team (VRT), had on her healing journey. Bonnie, Director of the VRT, also discusses why addressing violence through healthcare is critical to supporting survivors and strengthening our communities.

๐Ÿ’œ Thank you, Ava, for trusting us with your story and for courageously sharing your voice. By sharing your experience, you are helping raise awareness, inspire hope, and remind other survivors that they are not alone.

Thank you to the Catholic Health Association for creating this video, highlighting the importance of violence intervention programs and elevating survivor voices.

Violence intervention works. ๐Ÿ’œ

The Violence Response Team was recently featured in an article highlighting Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Programs (HVIPs) across Virginia.

Since 2019, Virginia's HVIPs have served nearly 10,000 patients and helped reduce re-injury rates to less than 3%.

The Bon Secours Violence Response Team is proud to be part of this life-saving work, supporting survivors, promoting healing, and helping break the cycle of violence in our communities.
