Advocacy Core Training (ACT)

​
What is covered in the Advocate Core Training?
​
SafePlace offers a comprehensive 36-hour training on sexual and domestic violence. The ACT is accredited by the Office of Crime Victims Advocacy through the Washington Coalition of Sexual Assault Programs (WCSAP) to give people the skills to work directly with survivors of domestic violence (DV) and sexual assault (SA). Our curriculum is reflective of current best and evidence-based practices and covers general, medical, and legal advocacy skills. This work is rooted in an anti-oppression framework and, as such, we include cultural competency training and the basics of working with marginalized populations. We explore the areas where oppression intersects with individuals’ experiences of DV/SA, and how anti-oppression work connects to service provision and advocacy with both individuals and systems.
