Why support FACNM?
Since 2006, the number of people we’ve served has more than quadrupled. Our three-in-one model helps us support the dire needs of 17 counties and 3 Tribal Reservations, an area that covers over 26,000 square miles of Northern Minnesota residents.
Although a variety of victim-orientated services exist in Northern Minnesota, FACNM is the only medical-model abuse assessment center in the State of Minnesota providing forensic services for victims of child abuse, intimate partner violence, and sexual assault all in one center.
