Across the United States, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, approximately eleven hundred sexual assault centers and programs respond to survivors of sexual violence. Responding to those calls are the advocates. The advocate is tasked not only with pulling from all their skills and understanding to support a survivor and their families, but must also adapt to unknown situations in real time and do so with care and compassion and trust. This work can be doubly complicated when working with groups targeted for victimization because of their status: those with disabilities, the elderly, and undocumented people, to name a few.

In this episode, we are joined by Sandra Henriquez, Peggie Reyna, and Ryssa Fleisher, who have a combined sixty plus years of work in the field, and will share their experiences in working with survivors to heal in the aftermath of sexual violence.
