How Can SANE Nurses Combat Human Trafficking? – Interview w/ Andrea Cressy – Ep. 56

Andrea Cressy is the Forensic Nursing Program Director at Houston Methodist. She is also a SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) nurse with both national and international certifications to conduct forensic exams. Andrea talked to us about the importance of training SANE nurses to identify women in trafficking situations, resources Methodist provides women they suspect are being trafficked, and challenges they face when helping women identify themselves as being exploited.

Elijah Rising has had the privilege of working alongside Houston Methodist as they seek to consistently improve their education and processes when it comes to identifying and supporting women who have been trafficked. We’re so thankful for the passion they have to combat trafficking.
