Engaging School Nurses to address the needs of FGM/C survivors

On July 19th, Sahiyo Programs Coordinator Catherine Cox was joined by Massachusetts Pediatric SANE Mildrine Tulysse for a training session at the School Nurses International Conference. This presentation was part of a multi-day training for school nurses and school health advocates coming from all around the world, and took place in-person at Northeastern University. This presentation explored FGM/C and discussed resources available for School Nurses who may come in contact with students impacted by FGC, and who are looking to better understand how to provide trauma-informed care while practicing cultural competency and sensitivity.
