What is a Survivor Advocate?

Advocates are certified in sexual assault and domestic/dating violence advocacy and have completed extensive training on crisis intervention, supporting victim/survivors of violence, providing resources and facilitating accommodations. As advocates we believe that only the victim/survivor knows what the best course of action is for themselves at any given time. As a result, advocates will not push victims/survivors to do anything they don’t want to. The advocate provides a safe space to discuss your options.
