Independent Sexual Violence Advocates offer practical support navigating legal systems and accessing specialist services. Our ISVA team assists adults with police liaison, court preparation, and connecting with healthcare and housing providers while maintaining client confidentiality.
CHISVA Service
Child ISVA specialists provide age-appropriate support for under-18 survivors and their families. Our trained advocates coordinate with schools, social services, and healthcare providers while ensuring safeguarding compliance and offering court system guidance.
