Family Advocacy
Support
Child abuse has a ripple effect on the entire family. Our Family Advocates stay by our families’ sides for the entire investigative process and beyond.
Family advocates work collaboratively with caregivers and the entire multidisciplinary team to ensure kids’ voices are heard and their wellbeing is protected. They’re our kids’ biggest advocates, making sure that kids remain central to their investigation at every stage in the process.
Family advocates provide emotional support for kids and their caregivers as they go through the judicial and child welfare systems. In many cases, family advocates continue to help families heal after the investigative process is done.
Status Updates
Family advocates provide caregivers with status updates about their investigation and prosecution.
Your family advocate also acts as a hub for resources, including referrals to medical or mental health care, victim’s compensation assistance, court support, and more.
Additional Assistance
Sometimes families need extra help as they heal. Family advocates get you connected.
Sometimes, our families are experiencing a financial crisis and need help with food, clothing, housing, employment, finances, or other basic needs. Family advocates help coordinate services and gather resources to make sure those needs are met so families can focus on healing.
