In 2024, 486 program participants were served by our criminal justice and civil legal advocacy services.

All other victims were referred to advocacy services by law enforcement shortly after the incident. Criminal legal advocates provided crisis intervention, ongoing support, and crime victim advocacy throughout criminal court proceedings to include accompanying victims to court hearings; serving as a liaison to prosecutors; helping victims understand the criminal court process and crime victim rights; and assisting victims in accessing resources like crime victim assistance, reparations, and victim notification. In addition to criminal legal advocacy, advocates also assisted victims/survivors in their efforts to obtain a protection order.
