At The Rowan Center, our certified advocates play a life-changing role every day. We rely on dedicated advocates to provide critical support to victims and survivors of sexual violence.
This 40-hour certification training consists of individual modules on the appropriate topics conducted by staff members of The Rowan Center who are experts in their individual areas. Sessions contain readings, videos, guest speakers, site visits to both a hospital emergency room and local police station, role plays, group and individual exercises.
Upon completion of the course, you will have a better understanding on the topic of sexual violence and its effects on survivors and their family and friends. This course will prepare you for your role as a volunteer advocate with The Rowan Center and on our 24-hour crisis hotline. Training topics include: sexual violence 101, counseling, medical accompaniments, mandatory reporting procedures, crisis intervention, and medical/police accompaniments.
For information regarding training sessions, please contact Raquel Lopez, Crisis Advocate Programs Administrator, at rlopez@therowancenter.org.
