What ECVS does
Help when it is needed. Knowledge that lasts.
Community education
Regional connectionLocal outreachVisible, local work
From classrooms to local events, ECVS brings useful information and real resources into the community.
We show up where people already gather, listen to what is missing, and share what can help.
Documented impact since 2022
Documented education, outreach, and regional work.
Our impact includes the nurses who participated in education we provided, the rooms we have brought together, the information we have shared, and the local work that continues long after an event ends.
ECVS recruited participants and helped coordinate local access for 3 cohorts of FCASV-provided 40-hour Adult/Adolescent SANE didactic education. ECVS also participates in multidisciplinary Sexual Assault Response Team meetings and regional collaborative initiatives.

Signature professional program
SAFEPath Preceptorship™
Coursework matters, but nurses also need help turning knowledge into sound clinical decisions. SAFEPath™ is built for that part.
- For nurses entering or growing in forensic practice
- Built around the gap between coursework and confident application
- Grounded in survivor-centered, clinically credible care
Rooted here
Local knowledge matters when someone needs an answer.

Give Them the Words
When a child asks a hard question—or tells you something important—the words you choose can shape what happens next. This practical toolkit gives parents and caregivers clear scripts, conversation cards, and age-spanning guidance for talking about bodies, boundaries, consent, digital safety, disclosure, and asking for help—without fear-based parenting.
The complete 69-page toolkit for your family.
Your complete toolkit plus a sponsored copy for a family with limited financial resources.
