We provide support to victims by offering information about the evidence gathering and legal processes, and by giving referrals to appropriate agencies for additional assistance, if needed. The advocate’s presence can be very comforting to the victim.

Our sexual assault response service is a vital part of our community's Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) because advocates can provide victims with information and support so that law enforcement and hospital personnel can focus on what they need to accomplish. This can reduce the overall amount of time the process takes. Victims indicate that the presence of Sable House advocates is very comforting and reassuring to them.
