Open 24/7/365, the Sexual Assault Forensic Examination, Domestic Violence and Child Protection Program (SAFE, DV, and CPP) program at GBMC offers comprehensive medical forensic services and advocacy for victims of assault, domestic violence, child abuse, and human trafficking. The environment is designed to be safe and welcoming, ensuring privacy and comfort for patients during their traumatic experiences. The team works closely with local law enforcement and community groups to support victims from initial medical treatment through to potential court proceedings. The program's services are entirely free, thanks to grants and community philanthropy. At GBMC, education is the key to prevention. In addition to forensic treatment, the team also provides thousands of hours of education in the community on trauma-informed care and sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse prevention.
