Counselor (comforting, helping hand) for sexual assault victims

BeLEAF Survivors: Seeks to provide a safe and compassionate environment to promote hope and healing after sexual assault by lifting, empowering, advocating, and fighting for survivors and their allies and, therefore, the community as a whole. Additionally, through education, outreach, and collaboration, we work to shift the culture that perpetuates sexual violence.

BeLEAF Volunteer Advocates answer the 24-hour crisis line and respond to Ascension-All Saints ER to provide support and information about resources to survivors of sexual assault. All of our Volunteer Advocates must be at least 18 years old, have access to a car or reliable transportation, attend our comprehensive training, and pass a background check (there may be additional requirements depending on where the Volunteer Advocate is responding). Volunteer Advocates must also be able to respond to the hospital within approximately 30-45 minutes while on call. The Volunteer Advocate training consists of about 18 hours of material spread over five modules.
