What is a Victim Advocate?

Victim Advocates are trained to support victims of any incident or crime. They offer emotional support, victims’ rights information, help in finding needed resources, and assistance in navigating and completing any processes related to the incident. Advocates frequently accompany victims through the criminal justice proceedings. Advocates work with other organizations, such as criminal justice or social service agencies, to get help or information for the victims they serve. The FGCU Victim Advocate provides free and confidential support to any student who has been victimized.

Advocacy Services Include:

  • Emotional support
  • Campus and community resources and referrals
  • Information on victimization
  • Assistance with completing and processing forms, such as victim impact statements, crime victim compensation forms, etc.
  • Information on legal rights and protections
  • Information on criminal justice process

  • Accompanies victims to hearings, court, or law enforcement interviews
