The Victim's Advocate

A Victim's Advocate is a professional who supports individuals affected by crimes or traumatic incidents. They provide information about the legal process, help navigate reporting and court procedures, and offer emotional support. Advocates also connect victims with resources such as counseling, housing, or financial assistance. Their goal is to empower victims, ensure their rights are protected, and help them recover from their experience. They work within criminal justice systems, community organizations, or victim support agencies to provide compassionate, informed assistance tailored to each individual’s needs.
