Medical Advocates meet survivors at the hospital following a sexual assault. They provide as much support & information as needed to the survivor & significant others who may be with them throughout the time the survivor is in the emergency room.
Advocates are professionally trained to support victims of sexual assault crimes. They are the continuum in care for victims of sexual assault. Advocates offer:
- Emotional support.
- May be present during the forensic evidence examination as well as police interviews.
