Family Advocacy

Our Family Advocacy Program provides an on-going, supportive relationship to our children and their families who are affected by sexual abuse. Our family advocates shepherd the family through the entire investigation process from beginning to end.  They assist with appointment scheduling, crisis intervention, victim’s compensation filing, domestic violence intervention, court support, transportation, and linking to community resources. They are the first to greet our children when they arrive at Pat’s Place and the last to see them when they leave.
