What are victim advocates and how can they help?

Many district attorney’s offices employ victim advocates. Your local police department might also have victim advocates. These advocates work with people who have experienced crimes and help act as a go-between for victims and law enforcement agencies. A victim advocate may be able to connect you to resources, keep you informed of the abuser’s criminal case, let you know if a criminal order of protection is in place, offer emotional support, assist you as the abuser moves through the criminal justice process, and provide other assistance. You can contact the prosecutor’s office or the local police in the county where the crime took place to see if they have a victim’s advocate and whether you are eligible for assistance.
