Advocacy Consultation for Victims of Sexual and Domestic Violence
by Advocacy is a form of consultation and is a role consultants take on when they believe a certain course of action should be taken. Advocacy consultation is the role of the consultant who is entirely devoted to some course of action. Considering these two definitions, one would be considered an Advocate consultant for victims of sexual and domestic violence, if that person believes very strongly that the empowerment of victims is what needs to happen to help victims overcome the abusive situation and further them in their healing process. As an advocate, the consultant for victims attempts to persuade the consultee-client to do what the consultant believes is the best course of action, which is to put themselves in a place of safety and of healing.

To all my Readers.
I discovered last night that on several of my writings on Triond, there were links to inappropriate articles. Some ads were questionable as well. I apologize for this, as I had no idea these links were on my writings because I usually just go to my editing page, which doesn’t show all those links and ads. I will be soon removing my writings from this account and would like to invite you to follow my writing on my new website, which doesn’t have any ads and I have more control over links put on it. My new website is http://gofishministries.wordpress.com/ if you would like to continue following my writings. God bless and go fish 4 Jesus!
