Youth Advocacy
What is youth advocacy? In-shelter services include one-on-one meetings between a minor and a Youth Advocate to explore feelings about what’s happening with all of the changes. These meetings generally take place during adult support group times. The aim is to help find healthy ways for kids to navigate through this uncertain time for their family.
Do I Have To Be A Shelter Resident To Get Help?
Youth Advocates at the shelter also have their own toll-free number for being reached by youth in the community and in need of someone to talk to regarding all types of abuses including bullying and unhealthy dating relationships. See our Youth & Teen Services page for more details.
FAQ’s:
Are advocates legal authorities?
No. Advocates are not licensed in any sort of way to practice law. However, they do have years of experience with attending court appointments for survivors in need of help throughout our community. They are knowledgeable as to what to expect and can offer support in the way of personal presence throughout these processes.
