Summer is (almost) here!
As you head into summer plans, don’t forget the little things that help keep you safe:
✔️ Share your location with someone you trust
✔️ Watch your drink
✔️ Keep your phone charged
✔️ Check in on your friends
And if something does happen after unwanted sexual contact or assault, you deserve support that feels compassionate and comfortable.
Hazel connects people to community-based forensic nurse care, because no one should have to navigate those moments alone.
Stay hydrated. Stay with your people. Stay safe.

Our nurse hotline is here to support survivors with compassionate, trauma-informed care and resources, whether you have questions, need guidance, or just want to talk through your options.
You are not alone, and you do not have to navigate this by yourself. Community care means showing up for survivors with support, dignity, and choice every step of the way.
📞 Call the DaneMAC nurse team: 608-492-2611
Available to help connect survivors to care, answer questions about forensic exams, and provide support in a safe, confidential way.
There is no “right time” when it comes to processing trauma.
For some survivors, it happens immediately. For others, it can take a lot longer. Every survivor’s journey looks different, and every story matters.
Stories like this are why Kim does the work she does. At Hazel, we believe survivors deserve compassionate care, support, and options whenever they’re ready. No pressure. No judgment. Just support on your terms.
You are not alone, and it’s never “too late” to reach out. Check out hazelhelps.me for more info.

Mental Health Awareness Month is a reminder that taking care of yourself can look different for everyone.
For our team of forensic nurses, it’s the little things…grabbing a coffee, getting outside for a walk, slowing down for a few minutes, and finding time to reset.
Self-care doesn’t always have to be big or complicated. Small daily habits can make a meaningful impact on your mental wellness and help create moments of peace during busy days.
Welcome to our forensic nursing Q&A, where our team shares more about their career paths and the importance of prioritizing mental wellness while doing such meaningful work.
We’re grateful for the incredible nurses who continue to support survivors with empathy, strength, and care every single day.
