The Harbor provides advocacy, prevention and support to promote self-determination and hope for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking.
Advocates at The Harbor provide advocacy and support to survivors during interactions with law enforcement and accompaniment to civil or criminal court hearings. While advocates are not attorneys and are not able to provide legal advice, we can inform survivors of their legal rights, what to expect during the legal process, possible outcomes, and provide information that will allow survivors make informed decisions about whether to engage in the court process. Advocates are able to assist survivors with completing and filing protective orders and Crime Victims Compensation applications.
