Services for victims of sexual assault include; individual support, advocacy information and referral, support groups, and resources from a specialized loan library. Through a victim-centered philosophy, assault survivors receive non-judgmental support to direct their own healing process.

What is an advocate? The term advocate is taken from the legal model. (An attorney is an Advocate.) It is defined as "one who pleads the cause of another" or "one who argues for, defends, maintains or recommends a cause or proposal." The goal of any type of advocacy is empowerment, and positive changes in the systems available to victims of sexual assault.
