🎙️ We are so proud of our very own Amanda for being featured on the We Share Podcast!

A special thank you to the We Share Podcast for providing a platform to share important conversations about supporting victims of violence and building stronger, more compassionate communities. We are grateful for the opportunity to highlight the needs of survivors and the work being done to serve them.

In this beautiful and heartfelt episode, Amanda shares why creating a safe place for victims of violence matters, the importance of trauma-informed care, and the difference that compassionate support can make during some of life’s most difficult moments.

At FERN, we believe every survivor deserves to be heard, believed, and cared for with dignity and respect. Amanda’s message reflects the heart of our mission and the commitment our nurses bring to every patient we serve.

We invite you to take a few minutes to listen to this inspiring conversation and learn more about the critical role forensic nurses play in helping survivors find safety, healing, and hope.

Thank you, Amanda, for sharing your voice and your passion. And thank you again to the We Share Podcast for helping shine a light on this important work. 💙💜🩵

As you listen, you’ll hear why access to these services matters—and why community support is so important to ensuring this care remains available for those who need it.

This past Saturday, law enforcement reached out twice because children needed forensic exams and no trained forensic nurse was immediately available. FERN stepped in both times because every child deserves compassionate, trauma-informed care from professionals specially trained to respond to violence and abuse.

These situations are a reminder of how critical forensic nursing services are in Eastern Idaho — and how fragile access to those services can become without community support.

FERN nurses have continued responding because the need is real and children cannot wait. But sustaining 24/7 specialized care, equipment, training, and response coverage requires funding and community partnership.

When families seek help for their children, our community should be able to say with confidence that trained care will be there.

If you believe these services matter, please help us keep them available. Sponsor, donate, or attend Sing for Survivors on June 13. Your support helps ensure children and victims of violence continue to have access to the care they deserve.

We’re so excited to finally share this with you.

On June 13th, we’re bringing our community together for a night of music, connection, and purpose — all to support survivors of assault and abuse right here in Eastern Idaho.

This isn’t just a karaoke night.

It’s a chance to:
✨ Stand with survivors
✨ Support real, local care
✨ Be part of something that truly matters

Every ticket, every sponsorship, every share helps ensure survivors receive:
– Compassionate medical care
– Advocacy and support
– A path forward after trauma

🎶 Dress up. Take the mic. Make some noise for a cause.

🎟️ Tickets: $25 (food included!)
📍 Function Junction | Idaho Falls
🗓️ June 13 | 6:30 PM

👉 Be Part of the Impact:

Support local.
Support survivors.

Possibly embarrass yourself with karaoke.
Honestly? Sounds like a great night.

This event helps FERN and 16:14 continue providing critical services for survivors of abuse and violent crime in Eastern Idaho.

There are people in our community who are experiencing abuse, assault, or violence—and they deserve compassionate care, dignity, and support in one of the hardest moments of their lives.

That care is provided at no cost to them.

That’s why we’re hosting Sing for Survivors — a karaoke dinner fundraiser benefiting FERN + 16:14 Revival.

This night is about more than music and dinner.

It’s about making sure survivors in Eastern Idaho continue to have access to forensic nursing care, advocacy, recovery resources, and people who know how to help when it matters most.

But we can’t continue this work alone.

We are actively looking for sponsors, raffle donations, and community partners who want to make a real impact locally. Your support directly helps us continue caring for individuals and families after violent crimes.

Join us June 13th at Function Junction and help us keep these services available for our community.

If you’d like to sponsor, donate, or get involved, please reach out to [email protected]
