Client Advocate

"Building Healthy Relationships, families and communities free from sexual, domestic and interpersonal violence."


To Whom It May Concern:

Crisis Intervention volunteer counselor-advocates provide counseling, advocacy, education, and referrals to survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, and child abuse. They answer crisis calls on the 24-hour LA Rape and Battering Hotline, and respond in-person to hospitals and police stations to provide one-on-one support to survivors and significant others. After successful completion of our 85-hour Crisis Intervention training, volunteer counselor-advocates make a one-year commitment to taking a weekly 4-hour or 8-hour shift with the hotline and accompaniment program.

Alongside, the Bilingual Crisis Intervention Program includes a Violence Prevention Specialist component. This means that volunteers are trained to provide education about Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence to local communities. During the training volunteers learned about the cycle of violence and healthy relationships and are encourage to choose a reading about both subjects.

Our 85-hour, training consists of lectures, activities, and interactive discussions designed to provide volunteer counselor-advocates with the necessary knowledge and skills to respond to hotline calls and in-person accompaniments for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, and child abuse. Training presenters and facilitators include multi-disciplinary professionals, experienced volunteers, survivors, and Peace Over Violence staff.

Since this is an intense training it is worth $800-$1000, However, we only ask for $75 we are used for materials and graduation ceremony.
Please do not let this interfere in your interest in being involve with the community.

**Women of color and bilingual women who speak Spanish/English are strongly encouraged to apply**

For more information, please contact our Training & Hotline Coordinator America Alaniz, or call (213) 955-9090×136. Thank you again! We look forward to working with you!

P.S please feel free to distribute our outreach flyer. Our next training will be starting on Tuesday, May 13th 2008.
