Accompaniment & Advocacy
We offer accompaniments and advocacy with/for survivors to court, police, or hospitals as it relates to issues of sexual violence. We can provide advocacy and support throughout your involvement with these systems. This may involve providing assistance with letter writing, preparation for court, legal matters, tribunals, etc. Feel free to connect with us to discuss your options and we will do all we can to meet your needs.

We typically offer volunteer training twice per year. Our Winter/Spring training, Summer/Fall. Our training is open to all women experiencing marginalization based on their racial or socio-economic background, sexual identity or orientation, as well as learning and physical differences that are interested in supporting survivors of gender-based violence. The training takes about 5 weeks, preparing you to become a support worker and volunteer at SASC.
