Advocacy

Advocates provide trauma-informed care and can help you understand your reactions and feelings in relation to what has happened to you.  An advocate can confidentially explore the circumstances of the crime with the victim and assist in stabilizing emotions resulting from the event or situation

An advocate can meet individually with victims of crime, violence or other traumatic events, to  help them process their experience and regain control of their lives. During this meeting the advocate will listen, empathize, and empower their client. An advocate will not force or pressure the client to discuss or disclose any information they are not comfortable sharing and will create a safe and accepting environment.

An advocate can also assist a client by exploring options, assessing for risk factors for increased violence, safety planning, and providing referrals for additional resources.
