Needed Now! Domestic Violence Victim Companion

Save to Favorites

The Domestic Violence Healthcare Project (DVHP) is seeking to train and onboard a new, energetic group of passionate advocates. Based at Carolinas Medical Center, (DVHP) provides 24-hour advocacy services to victims of intimate partner violence (*these may be victims that have recently been assaulted or they may have come to CMC for other reasons and identified by medical staff as benefiting from DVHP services ) in person & onsite at CMC-Main and via phone to all other Atrium Health facilities.

Volunteers provide a comprehensive and caring response, which includes providing supportive services and victim centered safety planning based on victim’s short-term needs and long-term goals. DVHP volunteer companions provide services on nights, weekends and holidays during 12-hour on-call shifts, selected by volunteers to fit with their schedules. DVHP is accepting applications for all shifts. DVHP volunteers must commit to one year of service although the monthly time commitment is minimal - just 24 hours of on-call time per month.
