Volunteer: Hospital Accompaniment Volunteer Advocates

Hospital Accompaniment Volunteer Advocates  Volunteers respond to the Midland Memorial Hospital emergency room from 5:00 pm until 8:30 am, Monday thru Thursday and Friday after 5:00 pm until 8:00 am on Monday, when a sexual assault victim presents at the ER for a sexual assault exam. Volunteer Advocates must be 18 years of age and be able to pass a background check and complete the 40 hour SATP training (provided by MRCCAC).

While this is likely the most difficult of our volunteer tasks, it is essential and can be rewarding. Advocates provide support and resources to victims in a time of crisis. Clients accompanied by an advocate are more likely to seek other services such as advocacy and therapy.
