If you have been experiencing domestic violence

For domestic violence and intimate partner violence, our SANEs are available 24hrs to provide you with services. Domestic violence services include a physical examination, injury documentation, referrals, documenting the assault, analgesic drugs for pain, and more. The examination may be scheduled by you, law enforcement, the hospital, your family/friends, an advocate, etc. If you have visible injuries for documentation, or have survived a recent strangulation incident, you can activate one of our SANEs by calling (505) 884-7263. ​Tenemos servicios en Español las 24 horas del día, siete días a la semana para nuestros pacientes. Si eres víctima de abuso sexual o abuso doméstico, tenemos ayuda para ti. Habla (505)-884-7263 para hablar con una enfermera.

​​

In the case of severe injury and in some cases of strangulation, the nurse might refer you to the ER for evaluation prior to making an appointment: these recommendations are made to prioritize your health and safety. The nurse will provide further instruction about the nearest emergency department that can evaluate you and can then schedule you for services at Albuquerque SANE​ after your evaluation.​

​​

Law enforcement does not need to be involved for you to be seen by us. SANE services are 100% free for victims and totally confidential. Your exam will be conducted in our clinic in a respectful, caring, and supportive manner. A trained crisis advocate will be available to provide other support for you. Advocates can answer any questions about restraining orders, temporary shelter, counseling, etc.

​

Our SANEs are prepared to support your case in legal proceedings: our SANEs receive subpoenas for trial and can testify to the injuries you sustained from your abuse.
