Victim advocacy programs are designed to support individuals who have experienced crime or trauma. These programs provide resources such as counseling, legal assistance, and information about victims' rights. Advocates work to empower victims, helping them navigate the legal system and access necessary services. These programs often collaborate with law enforcement, social services, and community organizations to ensure comprehensive support. By offering a safe space and guidance, victim advocacy programs aim to reduce the emotional and psychological impact of crime, promoting healing and recovery for those affected.
