In-person advocates provide interpersonal support to survivors in hospitals and police stations. Advocates are dispatched any time an individual discloses sexual abuse in those settings. In-person advocates must also respond to the needs of any support people present (friends, family, partners, etc). Prospective volunteers are required to attend a 32-hour training and they must have their own form of transportation.
