Crisis Advocate Volunteers

Crisis Advocates are trained volunteers from the MSU Center for Survivors, who provide an in-person crisis response to meet with survivors at the Sexual Assault Healthcare Program or residence halls on MSU’s campus.

Crisis Advocates provide confidential, in-person crisis intervention, support services, advocacy, and accompaniment. Crisis Advocates provide critical resources, information, referrals, and linkage to follow up care and ongoing supportive services. Crisis Advocates work effectively alongside other providers such as medical staff, social workers, law enforcement, and residence hall staff.

Crisis Advocate Volunteers are part of the overall Survivor Advocacy Crisis Intervention (SACI) Volunteer Team, and they receive additional training and support for this unique, in-person, volunteer role.
