DVSAS is looking for our next class of advocates!
If you are a great listener and have a passion for helping people who are experiencing intimate partner violence, sexual assault, or sexual exploitation DVSAS will be launching our next Advocacy Counselor Training on May 12th.
This week-long training will cover all the essential information and tools you will need to work directly with clients. Session topics include: Introduction to Advocacy, Domestic Violence Dynamics, Sexual Assault Dynamics, Effects of Trauma, Legal Advocacy, and Working with Systems.
Once you have completed the training and background checks, you'll work with our team to get comfortable taking calls and meeting with clients. Although the training is a full week, you'll only be expected to volunteer for 4 hours/week.
