A Family/Victim Advocate is designed to provide a continuum of care for children and families throughout the criminal justice process. We provide security to children victimized by abuse or neglect by working closely with the local multi-disciplinary team of professionals who investigate cases of alleged abuse. Together, we assess needs and risks the child may face. We also provide support through the process by coordinating and tracking the efforts of the different professionals working each child's case, from intake through trial proceedings, to make sure no clients' needs go unmet.
