Is a victims advocate basically a social worker?
I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter's attack. I hope both of you are getting the support you need. A victims advocate can be a social worker, but not necessarily. A social worker, by title, is someone who has a master's degree in social work. A victims advocate is someone who has been specially trained to help someone who has suffered an attack. They understand the system, legal, medical, and mental and help the person navigate and access resources. Additionally, they frequently have personal experience with surviving and are focused on being a support for the person in need. They may also have access to funds to assist with paying for services such as counseling and legal counsel. You are in good hands with a victims advocate. READ MORE
