Mobile Advocacy Program

Victim Service- The Trauma Resolution Center is the one and only Trauma-Focused Community Mental Health Center operating in the United Sates. Our focus is to help our clients resolve the impact of traumatic incidents in a non-judgmental and safe environment utilizing a process called Traumatic Incident Resolution(TIR).  TIR has been clinically proven to dramatically reduce the anxiety, depression and traumatic stress associated with trauma, allowing our clients to re-experience the quality of life they use to enjoy prior to the event.

In order to further support our clients, Victim Services provides personal and system advocacy to our clients through qualified volunteers.

The Mobile Advocacy Program:

• Utilizes police reports to identify victims of crime and proactively reach out to them
• Educates our clients about their rights under the Crime Victim Compensation Program and ensure that they get the compensation they are entitled for lost wages, medical bills, counseling and more  
• Keeps them safe by locating appropriate shelter spaces
• Assists clients in navigating the legal system and  attend court hearings
• Connects them to other valuable community resources such as food banks, free clothing, free transportation, job training and placement and many others
• Simply ‘be there’ as the client undergoes tremendous life changes.

Training for the program is limited.  The minimum weekly required service hours are five hours.  All that is needed on your behalf is to pass a completed background check from a local law enforcement agency.
