DOMESTIC & SEXUAL VIOLENCE ADVOCACY PROGRAM

An advocate is a supportive, nonjudgmental person who can listen, provide information and referrals, and help individuals and families identify their options. Advocates at the SWCC will amplify your voice and encourage you to make the decisions that are best for you and your family. The system can be confusing, so partnering with an advocate can be helpful and lessen this confusion. Even when not working with the system the experience of violence can be confusing and cause individuals to question reality and speaking with an advocate can help.
