Making New York
a SAFE Place for Survivors of Sexual Violence

Receiving trauma-informed care after an assault can be a powerful step in the healing process. Sexual Assault Forensic Examiners (SAFEs) ensure that survivors are treated with the dignity they deserve.

Due to a critical shortage of trained SAFEs, hospitals often struggle to provide these services and survivors often face long wait times and unnecessary transfers.

TeleSAFE is working to support hospitals and expand SAFE access across New York State.

TeleSAFE is an on-demand, comprehensive, compassionate, SAFE solution for hospitals with or without an existing program.

TeleSAFE can help any nurse – SAFE or not – deliver comprehensive, compassionate care for any survivor of sexual assault.

Compliant

TeleSAFE is funded and supported by New York State and helps hospitals meet their obligations to care for sexual assault patients.

Comprehensive

TeleSAFE is custom-tailored to your hospital’s unique needs and can support your hospital in managing complete forensic exams, backing up your existing team, or supporting you as you build your own SAFE Program.

Compassionate

Our highly trained and experienced nurse examiners provide trauma-informed guidance and ensure hospital nurses feel safe, comfortable, and in control at all times.

Cost-effective

Patient transfers cost hospitals and patients money and time, and are disruptive to continuity of care. With TeleSAFE, there is no need to transfer due to lack of SAFE coverage. Through our preceptor program, we can help build your SANE team without the need to staff two nurses.

Hear what hospitals are saying about TeleSAFE

  • TeleSAFE has played a crucial role in developing the SAFE program at our small community hospital. The knowledge provided by the TeleSAFE nurses has helped our nurses feel comfortable and confident in their roles, all while aiding them in supporting our patients in a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive way.
