Last week, our Nursing students attended a Lunch & Learn focused on domestic violence awareness in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Thank you to the Relationship Safety Alliance for sharing important information and resources, and to special guest Mikki Morrissette, publisher and editor of the Minnesota Women's Press, for joining the conversation.
These experiences help prepare our students to provide compassionate, informed care and support for those impacted by domestic violence. #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth #FutureNurses
