This week, ENA celebrates the critical work forensic nurses do, often behind the scenes, to help children and adults begin their journey toward healing.

These specialized professionals show up with unique skills, a trauma-informed approach and fierce advocacy in the emergency department, community service systems, legal settings and beyond.

Thank you to the State of Illinois and the Village of Schaumburg, home to ENA Headquarters, for recognizing Nov. 2-8 as Forensic Nurses Week. #FNWeek
