Philosophy Statement

ADVOCATES: Victim Assistance Team is comprised of people who are involved in issues related to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. ADVOCATES operates as a place where these victims can receive confidential services in a safe and supportive environment. Our agency serves victims of all racial, social, ethnic, religious, sexual orientation and gender expression among all economic groups, ages and lifestyles. We oppose the use of violence as a means of control over others. We support and encourage equality in relationships and the concept of helping people assume power over their own lives.
