Sexual Assault Forensic Examination & Domestic Violence Program at GBMC

The SAFE & DV Program at GBMC is committed to providing compassionate and confidential medical, forensic, and crisis counseling to Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence and Child Abuse victims to improve their safety, health and well-being, across the individual’s lifespan. Using a patient-centered approach, we attend to victims’ medical needs while expertly documenting injuries and collecting evidence of crimes.

With an advocacy-based empowerment approach, we assist victims with their safety and emotional needs; referring them for follow-up support, counseling, shelter and legal assistance. The SAFE & DV Program aids and trains GBMC clinical staff to ensure that our providers can identify signs of abuse and can properly care to victims and survivors.
