Domestic Violence Advocates are the backbone of agencies and organizations that provide support services to survivors of domestic violence. Domestic violence advocates provide confidential services to survivors by supporting them with various challenges like housing, physical and mental needs, financial support, parenting, and navigating the court and criminal justice system. They provide supportive counseling, encourage survivors to empower themselves and equip them to deal with any conflicting and challenging feelings that arise as a result of their trauma.
