IAFN has added a social justice pillar to the draft strategic plan currently being finalized by IAFN Board and staff. As a result, we will be creating a social justice committee to look at how the Board should become involved in working for issues of social justice and what it means to be committed to social justice both for our members and the patient populations we serve.
We are currently seeking applicants interested in serving as Committee Chair who want to help develop this vision for IAFN. Under policy, the Chair will be chosen by the Board President and asked to serve a two-year term. The Chair will be asked to select Committee members from the applicants and direct the Committee according to the Board established objectives which will include but not be limited to defining the role of Forensic Nursing’s role in working for social justice. Click here to learn more and apply.

But she's nervous. "Take a deep breath," she says out loud to herself. She takes a deep and audible breath. And then she tells the story of what happened on the night that turned her life upside down.
