Victim Advocates provide information, guidance, and support to victims. They are specially trained to respond to incidents of domestic violence 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Victim Advocates provide emotional support; advise victims of their rights, explore resources and service in both civilian and military communities, and accompany and support victims through medical and legal proceedings.
Victim Advocates (VAs) are available 24 hours a day to provide ongoing support services to victims of domestic violence and the non-offending parent in child abuse. In some cases, victims have the option of making a restricted report of domestic violence. Restricted reporting is not available in all situations, so please speak to a VA prior to making a report to learn all the options available. VA's connect victims and survivors of domestic abuse to on and off base resources including counseling, shelters, legal, and financial services.
To speak with a Victim Advocate call our 24/7 helpline 645-SAFE (7233) or call our main line DSN: 645-2915 or off base: 098-970-2915 between 0730-1630.
If you are experiencing an emergency situation, or know of a domestic violence incident please call 911 (098-911-9111) or local law enforcement.
If you have been sexually assaulted, please contact the Sexual Assault Response Program (SAPR) at 645-HOPE (4673).
If you need Crisis Counseling call the Dstress Line at 1-877-476-7734.
Victim advocates also provide briefs and training on issues related to domestic violence and child maltreatment.
