The theme for this year’s awareness month continues to be <em>“Heal, Hold, & Center”</em> where the purpose is to discover the many ways that we can engage culturally appropriate care to heal the victims, hold space to hear and support survivors, and center on those who have been most marginalized by domestic violence and the stigma surrounding it.</p> <p>Were you aware that in the United States, nearly <strong>1 in 2 women</strong> and more than <strong>2 in 5 men</strong> reported experiencing intimate partner violence at some point in their lifetime? 85% of all domestic violence victims are women, although 1 in 4 men report receiving severe beating from an intimate partner. Victimization rates vary by race, with White and Black women more frequently victims of beatings than Asian or Hispanic women*.</p> <p><u><strong>What can you do to help #healholdcenter this year?</strong></u></p> <ul><li>Use your social media power to raise awareness. Post using #healholdcenter to draw your followers to learn more.</li> <li>Volunteer with local domestic violence support services.</li> <li>Organize an educational event for your community.</li> <li>Research the candidates running for elected office to see if they have a stance against domestic violence, violence against women, and dating violence.</li> <li>Organize a drive for clothing, household goods, and hygiene products to donate to your local shelter.</li> </ul><p><u><strong>For more information:</strong></u><br /><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/intimate-partner-violence/about/index.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank">About Intimate Partner Violence | Intimate Partner Violence Prevention | CDC</a></p> <p>*<a href="*https://www.breakthecycle.org/domestic-violence-statistics/">https://www.breakthecycle.org/domestic-violence-statistics/</a></p> <hr /><p><strong>LGBTQ+ History Month Statement</strong></p> <p><img alt="LGBTQ+" class="align-right" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9487ded5-956d-43dc-99fc-1696fcf89850" id="" src="/sites/default/files/images-rte/LGBTQ%2B%20History%20Month_Image.png" title="" width="300px" height="316" loading="lazy" />While June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month, in October we celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month by acknowledging the <a href="https://lgbthistorymonth.com/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">leaders</a> who have paved the way and continue to inspire us with their examples. Educate yourself continuously: inclusivity is a lifelong process and taking the initiative to educate yourself about LGBTQ+ issues, identities, and history is crucial.</p> <p>What we can do on a daily basis to be inclusive:</p> <ul><li><strong>Include our own pronouns</strong> during introductions.</li> <li><strong>Don’t assume</strong> we know someone’s gender identity or pronouns based on how they look; ask others their pronouns during introductions but get in the habit of using they/them pronouns until it’s clear what pronouns they use.</li> <li><strong>Avoid gendered language when addressing groups</strong>: “Good evening, folks/everyone/guests/people/kiddos/ community,” etc. Terms like “boys and girls” or “ladies and gentlemen” are exclusive and many people who don’t identify on the binary are left out.</li> <li><strong>Make a special effort on October 18</strong>, <a href="https://lgbtq.ucsf.edu/international-pronouns-day" rel="noopener" target="_blank">International Pronoun Day</a>, the third Wednesday of October.</li> <li><strong>Follow the example</strong> set by our children and grandchildren.</li> <li><strong>Keep working at it</strong>, even if the rules are at odds with what we learned in English class.</li> <li><strong>If you make a mistake</strong> and use the incorrect pronouns (yes, mistakes will happen) and someone corrects you, say “thank you” instead of “I’m sorry”. When you say, “I’m sorry,” it puts the burden on the person who has just been misgendered to either accept your apology or console you. “Thank you for correcting me” is the way to acknowledge your mistake and take responsibility.</li> </ul><hr /><p><strong>Hispanic Heritage Month - 09/2024</strong></p> <p><img alt="HHM" class="align-left" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="794a2550-6216-457f-bd9a-b3cacc1c3ba7" id="" margin="20px" padding="20px" src="/sites/default/files/images-rte/HispanicHeritageMonth.jpg" style="padding: 20px; margin: 20px;" title="" width="300px" height="589" loading="lazy" />The AAACN Inclusion and Belonging Committee is proud to celebrate Latinx Heritage Month, Sept 15-Oct 15, 2024. This a time to recognize and honor the rich cultural contributions and achievements of the Latinx community. This month offers a valuable opportunity to reflect on the vital role that Latinx individuals have played in shaping healthcare and nursing, both historically and in modern practice, while also recognizing the continuing gap in Latinx clinicians compared to the community (17% of the population is Latinx and only 3.5% of nurses).</p> <p>Latinx nurses continue to make significant strides in advancing health equity, advocating for culturally competent care, and improving outcomes for their communities. As we honor Latinx Heritage Month, we also reaffirm our dedication to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion within the nursing profession. By promoting a sense of belonging and respect for all, we strengthen our collective ability to deliver high-quality, and culturally appropriate care to the diverse populations we serve.</p> <p>Together, let us celebrate the vibrant culture, contributions, and leadership of the Latinx community, while continuing to work toward a more inclusive future for all.</p> <p>For more information about Hispanic Heritage Month: <a href="https://latino.si.edu/learn/teaching-and-learning-resources/hispanic-heritage-month-resources/hispanic-heritage-month" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Hispanic Heritage Month | National Museum of the American Latino (si.edu)</a>.</p> <p>For more information about the Latinx nurse contributions to healthcare <a href="https://nursejournal.org/articles/influential-hispanic-and-latino-nurses/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Hispanic And Latino Nurses You Should Know About | NurseJournal.org</a></p> <hr /><p><strong>Women’s Equality Day Statement - 08/2024</strong></p> <p>On this Women’s Equality Day, the Inclusion and Belonging Committee celebrate the incredible strength, resilience, and dedication of women in nursing.

During this month, we work to center and explore the experiences of the 61 million adults living with a disability. According to the <a href="https://www.disabilityfunders.org/disability-stats-and-facts#:~:text=People%20with%20disabilities%20constitute%20the%20largest%20minority%20group%20in%20the,sexual%20orientation%20and%20socioeconomic%20status." rel="noopener" target="_blank">Disability Funders Network</a>, "people with disabilities constitute the largest minority group in the United States, making up an estimated 20 percent of the total population. It is a diverse group, crossing lines of age, ethnicity, gender, race, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status." People with disabilities face many challenges, including access, discrimination, and ableism – all of which are known social determinants of health.<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/healthequity/features/disability-inclusion/index.html" rel="noopener" target="_blank"> Aligned with the CDC's goal</a>, we encourage all AAACN members to strive to facilitate seamless access to healthcare and public health programming that support health-enhancing behaviors for our patients with visible and invisible disabilities.</p> <hr /><p><strong>AAACN’s Inclusion and Belonging Committee (IBC) recognizes the significance of Juneteenth as a historic day in commemorating the end of slavery in the United States.</strong></p> <p><img alt="PRIDE" class="align-left" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a57dbc45-eef1-4685-b8bf-630de0eea440" id="" src="/sites/default/files/images-rte/juneteenth_2024.png" style="padding: 20px;" title="" width="250px" height="1080" loading="lazy" />This day, observed on June 19th, marks the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation. We stand in solidarity and hope for us all within AAACN. Let this day and all the days to come serve as a powerful reminder of resilience, courage, and the enduring spirit of those who fought for their freedom and continue to advocate for justice and equality. The IBC is dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment where every individual is respected, valued, and empowered. We reaffirm our commitment to promoting equity in healthcare, supporting a diverse workforce, educating, advocating for, and building inclusive partnerships.</p> <p><strong>What can you do to celebrate?</strong></p> <ul><li>Recognize and celebrate the contributions of African American healthcare professionals within your organization</li> <li>Share information about Juneteenth, including its history and how it relates to health equity</li> <li>Organize cultural events that celebrate African American heritage, such as music performances, art exhibitions, or food festivals</li> <li>Those of us outside the Black experience might find this <a href="https://momentum.medium.com/how-white-people-can-celebrate-juneteenth-f70e14fa037">article</a> helpful</li> </ul><p><strong>Together, we honor the legacy of those who came before us and pledge to continue the work of a just and equitable society for all.</strong></p> <hr /><p><strong>The Inclusion and Belonging Committee wishes the AAACN membership a happy Pride Month.</strong></p> <p><img alt="PRIDE" class="align-right" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6009406c-0594-496e-a2f6-28fa0ecea359" id="" src="/sites/default/files/images-rte/pride-month-pic.png" title="" width="200px" height="1080" loading="lazy" />The AAACN Inclusion and Belonging Committee (formerly known as the DEI Committee) recognizes June as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month. As members, we extend a warm invitation to each of you to join us in this essential conversation and learning. Together, let us unite in a shared commitment to expanding our understanding, raising awareness, and fostering inclusive environments where LGBTQIA+ patients and colleagues are not just acknowledged, but truly valued and respected.</p> <p>Every year, June serves as a time to support collective stories of resilience, triumph, and the ongoing pursuit of equality. This month-long observance stands as a beacon of unity, empowerment, and recognition for the vibrant tapestry of identities within the LGBTQIA+ community, both past and present. Through a myriad of events, gatherings, and commemorations, we honor the influence of LGBTQIA+ individuals on our society, and we stand together in solidarity, reminding each other that we are never alone on this journey of self-discovery and acceptance.</p> <p>Pride Month carries profound significance, rooted in the historic Stonewall Riots of June 1969, a pivotal moment when the LGBTQIA+ community ignited a movement that reverberates to this day. From those courageous actions emerged a chorus of voices calling for justice, dignity, and the right to love freely without fear or prejudice.</p> <p>The legacy of Stonewall endures as a guiding light, inspiring us to continue the fight for LGBTQIA+ rights and visibility in the face of ongoing challenges and discrimination. As we reflect on the journey from Stonewall to the present, we recognize the progress made while acknowledging the work that still lies ahead.</p> <p>At the heart of Pride Month lies a call to action: to advocate for inclusive policies, and champion the inherent worth and dignity of every individual, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. It is a time to celebrate the diversity of community and to embrace the unique gifts and perspectives that each individual person brings.</p> <p>As members of AAACN’s Inclusion and Belonging Committee, we extend an invitation to all nurses and healthcare professionals to join us in this vital conversation and learning. Let us learn, raise awareness, foster understanding, and create welcoming spaces where LGBTQIA+ patients and colleagues feel seen, heard, and respected.</p> <img alt="DPM" class="align-center align-center" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e42158d6-2b5a-41f2-8104-daf7d23d1206" id="" src="/sites/default/files/images-rte/Disability%20Pride%20Month_Image.png" title="" width="300px" height="788" loading="lazy" /></div> </div> <script> <![CDATA[// ><![CDATA[// ><!]]]]><![CDATA[> //--><!]]> </script></div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main> <footer class="mt-4 "> <div class="container"> <div class="region region-footer"> <div id="block-footer" class="block block-block-content block-block-content2c7ad540-06ab-45ae-8f8b-1aead7049969"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><img alt="Home" class="footer-logo" src="/sites/default/files/aaacn-logo-trans_0.png" style="top: -2em;" /></p> <div class="contextual-region block block-block-content block-block-content2c7ad540-06ab-45ae-8f8b-1aead7049969" style="overflow:visible;"> <section class="block block-block aaacn-address col-lg-12 clearfix" id="block-block-14" style="padding-bottom: 1em;"> <p class="footer-row-1 text-align-center"><a href=" https://www.facebook.com/AAACN" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/facebook-icon.png" style="filter: invert(1); border-width: 0px; border-style: solid;" /></a> <a href="https://twitter.com/AmbCareNursing" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/X-icon.png" style="filter: invert(1);" /></a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/american-academy-of-ambulatory-care-nursing" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/linkedin-icon.png" style="filter: invert(1);" /></a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ambcarenursing" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/instagram-icon.png" style="filter: invert(1);" /></a></p> <p class="footer-row-2 text-align-center"><a href="/about/press-room">Press Room</a> | <a href="/about/media-coverage">Media Coverage</a> | <a href="/about/contact-aaacn">Contact</a> | <a href="/accreditation-statement">Accreditation Statement</a> | <a href="/about/privacypolicy">Privacy Policy</a> | <a href="/about/termsandconditionsofsale">Terms & Conditions of Sale</a></p> <p class="rtecenter">Copyright ©2023, <a href="/">American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing (AAACN)</a>.<br /> No materials, including graphics, may be reused, modified, or reproduced without written permission.</p> </section> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </div> <script type="application/json" data-drupal-selector="drupal-settings-json">{"path":{"baseUrl":"\/","scriptPath":null,"pathPrefix":"","currentPath":"node\/7143","currentPathIsAdmin":false,"isFront":false,"currentLanguage":"en"},"pluralDelimiter":"\u0003","suppressDeprecationErrors":true,"google_analytics":{"account":"UA-37772294-1","trackOutbound":true,"trackMailto":true,"trackTel":true,"trackDownload":true,"trackDownloadExtensions":"7z|aac|arc|arj|asf|asx|avi|bin|csv|doc(x|m)?|dot(x|m)?|exe|flv|gif|gz|gzip|hqx|jar|jpe?g|js|mp(2|3|4|e?g)|mov(ie)?|msi|msp|pdf|phps|png|ppt(x|m)?|pot(x|m)?|pps(x|m)?|ppam|sld(x|m)?|thmx|qtm?|ra(m|r)?|sea|sit|tar|tgz|torrent|txt|wav|wma|wmv|wpd|xls(x|m|b)?|xlt(x|m)|xlam|xml|z|zip","trackDomainMode":1},"data":{"extlink":{"extTarget":true,"extTargetNoOverride":false,"extNofollow":false,"extNoreferrer":false,"extFollowNoOverride":false,"extClass":"ext","extLabel":"(link is external)","extImgClass":false,"extSubdomains":true,"extExclude":"whatismybrowser\\.com","extInclude":"","extCssExclude":"nav, .btn","extCssExplicit":"","extAlert":false,"extAlertText":"This link will take you to an external web site.
