why be a victim advocate
Victim advocates provide support services for victims of crimes and traumatic events. Victim advocates ensure victims are advised of suitable treatment options, as well as perform crisis intervention services. Most victim advocate positions require a bachelor's degree in social work or a related field.
Victim advocates may provide a range of services to those who see or are the victims of crime. You may listen to what someone went through or saw and take notes. Throughout the process, you may revisit the story to prepare them for court and help them understand what lawyers will be asking.
