A staggering 75% of Alaskans have either personally experienced or know someone who
has been a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault. The state's rate of child
mistreatment surpasses the national average by 69.3%, while elder physical abuse is
2.4 times higher and elder psychological abuse is 1.6 times higher than national rates.
An assault occurs every hour in the state.
Despite the pervasive nature of violence, many regions in Alaska lack the capacity
to document and collect the necessary medical evidence crucial for aiding victims
of crime. The Alaska Comprehensive Forensic Training Academy (ACFTA) offers accessible
training to address this gap, empowering health care professionals to deliver trauma-informed,
evidence-driven care and contribute to enhancing community safety. Learn more about
the academy.
Beyond its training objectives, the ACFTA team actively seeks ongoing feedback from
community members, including stakeholders and professionals across various health
care fields throughout the state. Conducting a tour of Alaska, they host meetings
and focus groups in communities to ensure that the training provided aligns with the
diverse and unique needs of Alaska's communities. Learn more about upcoming health care and stakeholder meetings in a community near you.
ACFTA is a collaborative initiative involving the Alaska Council on Domestic Violence
& Sexual Assault, the 香港六合彩资料 College of Health, and the Alaska Nurses Association.
