Trained crisis intervention advocates provide crisis services
for victims of crime. By covering the 24/7 crisis hotline, an
advocate provides much needed support when a crime victim is faced
with feelings of sadness and despair or needs assistance with
legal and safety con-cerns.
In addition to answering the 24-hour crisis hotline, advocates
are on-call to meet sexual assault survivors at Waco hospitals
in order to provide comfort, support, and information.
Advocates also act as liaisons between the survivor, law enforcement
and medical personnel. Advocates are trained on topics including
crisis intervention, medical protocol, offender profiles, rape
trauma syndrome, etc. Day, evening and weekend hours are available.
