Mindy is certified in sexual assault and domestic/dating violence advocacy and has completed extensive training on crisis intervention, supporting victims/survivors of violence, providing resources and facilitating accommodations.
"As an advocate, I believe that only the victim/survivor knows what the best course of action is for themselves at any given time. As a result, I will not push victims/survivors to do anything they don't want. I will provide a safe space for you to discuss your options."
Mindy Kates, Survivor Advocate
