Leo’s SART Advocate was by his side to support his decisions, ensure his rights were respected, answer any of his questions–even hold his hand when he needed it. With a village behind him, he felt empowered to continue the process of recovery.
“When the assault happened, I felt isolated and powerless. But POV’s compassionate advocates gave me the tools I needed to take my power back. I could not be more grateful for your support.”
– Leo
Leo’s journey is still ongoing, and POV’s Advocates are still on it with him to provide emotional support, accompaniment, ongoing empowerment, assistance with restraining order paperwork, shelter placement, and access to any survivor support services he may need.
“While survivors may feel lost at the moment they accept our supportive services, they have unconsciously taken the most important step to moving forward: accepting help and building a foundation for safety and further self-development.”
– POV DART Advocate
With funding being cut, Peace Over Violence needs you – our village – more than ever. Our emergency services are a critical piece of our services and allow us to respond immediately to survivors and their needs.
