SHARPP Advocates are staff and volunteers who have completed a minimum of 30 hours of training in order to provide a range of confidential services to survivors. Advocates aim to support survivors’ healing and empowerment by providing information, tools, and resources to meet an individual survivors’ needs. They can help a survivor identify the options that are available to them and support them to make an informed decision on what will best meet their individual needs. Survivors are encouraged to make empowered decisions about what is best for them and are not required to take any options provided by the advocate. Advocates are trained to work from a foundation of believing, and nonjudgmentally supporting the individual needs of that survivor.
