Advocacy
DVRC Advocates provide comprehensive, trauma-informed support. They work directly with victims to assess their immediate and long-term needs, develop individualized safety and stability plans, connect them with community resources, and support them in achieving greater independence from their abusers.
Our advocates provide both crisis intervention and ongoing case management services. This includes assisting victims with safety planning, temporary and long-term orders of protection, referrals to community partners, housing resources, financial empowerment, and other services necessary to help victims establish safe, stable, and independent lives.
Advocates work collaboratively with community partners to identify solutions to barriers faced by victims and ensure that services are responsive to everyone’s circumstances, goals, and needs.
You are not alone.
Field Response
DVRC Advocates meet victims where they are and provide immediate resources and hope.
They are civilian responders, not law enforcement, and they help victims attain emergency restraining orders, develop safety plans, and get to a safe place (like a family or friend's home, the hospital or a domestic violence shelter).
We’ve got your back, literally.

victims of domestic violence?
IF SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP:
- Don’t gossip
- Believe their story
- Tell the Victim that they Do Not Deserve Abuse
- Know your Local Resources
- Encourage the Victim to contact DVRC for Help
Victims of Relationship Violence and Sexual Assault are left in trauma. Fear (for themselves, their children, other family members, etc.) can convince a victim that they have no options. By offering support and understanding, you might save a life.
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, reach out for help today.
