VICTIM ADVOCACY (DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, SEXUAL ASSAULT, AND OTHER TYPE OF VICTIMIZACION)

Survivors Pathway is committed to providing the necessary assistance, guidance, and psychological support to survivors of violent crimes to successfully achieve justice. Navigating and accessing the justice system can be difficult to understand, especially when the victims/survivors are experiencing the emotional impact of trauma, feeling unsafe or isolated. Access to supportive agencies, immigration services, and other needed legal resources are complicated.

 

Survivors’ Pathway’s Advocates  focus their efforts on facilitating these processes while trying to ensure the victim’s successful access to justice and other social services. Survivors’ Pathway’s advocates provide a vital support system to victims, encouraging and empowering them to pursue all avenues of treatment and all legal means to stop the abuse and to ensure long-term recovery.
