    Description

    Volunteer Crisis Advocates (VCAs) provide immediate, trauma-informed support to survivors of sexual violence through SARA Roanoke’s 24-hour crisis services program. VCAs respond to in-person accompaniment requests at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital, providing emotional support, safety planning, and information, and referrals. VCAs serve as a compassionate, non-judgmental presence for survivors during moments of crisis, helping them navigate medical and legal systems while upholding confidentiality, empowerment, and survivor-centered values. This role is essential to ensuring that survivors in the Roanoke Valley receive timely, respectful, and culturally responsive advocacy at any time of day or night.
