Advocacy
You don’t have to face this alone. We’re here to stand beside you.
What is Survivor Advocacy?
Advocacy means having someone in your corner. At Christina’s Courage, our trained advocates help survivors of sexual violence navigate what comes next—emotionally, medically, legally, and personally.
Whether you need help making sense of your options, connecting to services, creating a safety plan, or just want someone to listen, we’re here to support you with compassion and respect.
Our services are free, confidential, and led by your choices. You are in control of how much support you receive and when.

Advocacy for All
We serve survivors of all identities, backgrounds, and legal statuses—including undocumented individuals, LGBTQ+ survivors, and those who choose not to report to law enforcement.
Your Privacy Comes First
What you share stays between you and your advocate. We will never pressure you to take legal action or share your story. Our job is to provide information, offer support, and stand with you—on your terms.
Support for Families & Friends
If someone you love has experienced sexual violence, it’s okay not to have all the answers. Our advocates can help you understand how to support a survivor with compassion and without judgment.
