The goal of this course is to provide advocates and service providers who work with victims and survivors of sexual assault with the skills necessary to provide competent, effective crisis intervention services. 

Healing To You’s 40-hour Sexual Assault Advocate Training is completed in two parts. Part One is HTY’s online advocate training, which covers the realities and impact of sexual assault, trauma and neurobiology, crisis intervention, advocacy procedures, reporting and confidentiality, medical and legal systems, underserved survivor populations, recovery, and organizational wellness. Part Two is the full EVAWI Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Examination Virtual Practicum, which provides applied training in medical-forensic examinations, evidence collection, documentation, multidisciplinary response, law enforcement, and courtroom testimony.
