The philosophy of our organization is that all people have the right to live without fear, abuse, oppression, and violence. Our advocacy programs embrace the philosophy that people experiencing violence and/or abuse have the potential to control their lives and can be helped in doing so through support, information, and encouragement. We believe that our organization should model behavior that is nonviolent and uses power responsibly for personal and organizational action and growth. The Victims Advocate is responsible for all services at the sexual assault exam site and coverage of the crisis line, as well as advocacy and intake assistance that may be needed during the evening hours of 12:30 am to 8:30am at the Shelter.
