It is common to refer victims/survivors to resources around housing, relocation, legal support, basic needs, counseling, and financial losses.
Providing emotional support to victims/survivors and education around the impacts of trauma.
Coordinating and communicating on case management plans with Parole and Probation Officers and Juvenile Court Counselors on associated cases.
Maintaining records, referrals, and statistics etc.
Accompanying victims/survivors to court when needed.
