In recent months, deeply valid concerns have been raised about the evolution of our specialty. The Academy of Forensic Nursing (AFN) recognizes a profound institutional gap. While structural reorganizations have shifted where memberships and certifications sit, the fast-moving policy landscape requires an intentional, specialized response. We hear the collective anxiety across our community, and we agree: individual advocacy cannot replace standing professional infrastructure.

Here is how the Academy of Forensic Nursing is answering these urgent questions and shaping the next chapter of our profession. 👉 Read the full Letter to the Forensic Nursing Community here: https://www.goafn.org/news-1/a-letter-to-the-forensic-nursing-community
