Responsibilities :
The person-centered empowerment model program was based upon paired advocates with survivors of intimate partner violence to provide safety and build the survivor's autonomy. Facilitated progress toward customized goals identified and prioritized by survivors during the 6-month partnership. Detailed all contact in activity logs and Redcap database. Attended weekly supervision with fellow advocates to gain insight, direction, and support. Worked regularly in the Detroit community with law enforcement, legal counsel, housing networks, mental health professionals, and fellow domestic violence agencies. Offered promotion after first serving as a volunteer advocate to take on additional responsibilities: referral outreach, intake interviews, and assignment of additional survivors. Program unexpectedly lost all funding.
