High school student here looking to become a social worker! This video has been very helpful!

Thank you so much! This information has been really helpful. I did not see any of this on the website I was reading to prepare for a job interview for this position. 👍🏼

Thank you for recording this, its just the information i needed. Best of luck in your career!

New follower here! I am a criminal justice student and am still trying to figure out exactly what I want to do when I'm done! This video was very helpful!

Thank you great video. Thank you for all you do. I am currently a Social Worker and looking to move into victims advocate.

Thank you so much. I was a little stuck on where to go with Social Worker. This sounds very interesting.

I know this video is old but I am close to finishing my bachelors in legal studies and always wanted to be an attorney but now I’m not sure. I friend that is a life coach suggested that with my passion for public service and my interest in law that I should consider being a victim advocate. I have been doing a lot of reading and researching and when I typed in victim advocate you came right up. Thank you so much for this bless you I feel like I may have found my direction

This video was very informative thank you so much! I hope you make more videos of your experiences and day in the life of a social worker, etc! ❤️🙏🏻

Best video on the theme... Congratulations! You can tell that you love what you do. 💐

I applied for a Victim Advocate Position. I’m hoping to get hired. 🙏🏾

Just applied for this position at a local PD and this video is a big help! I really loved being a mental health case manager and this job seems like it has a lot of crossover. Let me ask you this, did victims ever meet with you in your office/workspace? That was my issue in my last job; having 10-12 in-person appointments with clients a day became draining as I'm an introvert and I need time to recharge. Thanks so much for the info!

This was very helpful, thank you!!

I applied to be a treatment advocate! This helps a bunch thanks!

what would you say are the biggest differences between victim advocacy and attorneys? I know there are some obvious differences, I am torn between these two paths and I would love any and all advice!

Neat... I actually just thought about being a SW within a police department. Thanks for giving me an idea of what a SW position could look like in this environment.

this is cool i want to get into this field

I know this video was done so long ago so I hope you still check these. I have an interview today to work in my community as a social worker for victim’s advocate . I have a passion to help people especially those who may not have the resources and support they need. However, I do no have a college degree. Do you feel this is essential ? I believe the education and training is but just wondering do you have a degree in this field. Thank you! Hope all is well!!!

Very helpful thank you !!

I recently applied to become Victim advocate coordinator position. How do you become open to religious beliefs when a crisis is happening to a victim What kind of advice can you support us with? Besides, speaking about Christianity. Hopefully this topic should not offended anyone. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this video. I'm a sexual assault survive, who has to attend a hearing next month. My counselor inform me on Thursday, she will see about a advocate come to court with me,concerning my a male neighbor, who sexual assault me this past Monday evening.

Thanks alot. I want to definitely go into the criminal justice field but my professor is always telling me to think about Victim Advocate

Hello! I am in my last year of receiving my BS in Criminal Justice and Criminology. I was thinking of this field. Do you get burnt out? Love that I found your page.

Thanks for the video. My dream would be to start a non profit victim advocacy organization. I have the money but zero education. I participate in a lot of certification programs but never got my certification due to my lack of education but I'm in school now. The only thing I don't want to happen to me is to become burned out or jaded by the people I'll meet. How do you keep your passion for the people you serve?

Thank you so much 😀

Hi , I am new to your channel I am looking into the field of Victim Advocacy. How did you start your career ? I am also from NC. Are there any training's that are in good price range that i can get certified in online that your know of? Thanks.

I have an interview with a police department next week for a victim advocate. Not sure what to expect from the interview, as this will be a new type social work area for me.

What is the best major to go into this field? Criminal Justice, Sociology, or Social Work?

Thank you for the information. Where would you find the listings for this type of employment? and do they require previous experience?

I'm fairly new to my position; police department's very first ever DV/SA victim advocate Would appreciate any/all resources you may have to share. Thanks in advance

Hi, I just watched your video it was very informative and helpful. I do have a question you said you were a victim service provider and you had a card for that. Where and how did you go about getting training for that, or was it on the job training that they provided?

I am new to your channel, and I would like to gain more information on what type of tutoring do you offer. Also, what is your website address?

Thank you for this information. I have an interview for this position and I’m a little nervous. Your video shared some light on the day to day task involved and I appreciate you for sharing. Do you have any recommendations for a interview as a Victim Advocate?

I am looking into this career but working in the court system. I am taking criminal justice and getting my AA. What else do recommendation that I take after I complete my AA?

Hello! I’m late to this video but I am hopeful to hear from you. This is a job I would love to pursue. What school requirements are needed for this job?

would it be necessary to be bilingual in Spanish since I've seen positions require English/spanish bilingual skills

Hi, i am in the process of getting my victims advocate certificate. Is that a good start?

Do you have a lcsw

Hello, at what time do you close the case? I was not sure if its after the first court hearing or after the case is deposed of in court?

Do you have to have a degree? I was going to get the certifications

And most importantly you have to back up the sheriff's department in any and all arrests they make relating to the alleged acts of domestic violence , there are many many legit cases of domestic violence , but did you know terroristic threat is a verbal threat that is considered domestic violence and all it takes to get your spouse arrested for this is an accusation alone and based off this arrest you can obtain an EPO on the alleged offender which kicks him out of his home and everything inside as well as his children for x amount of days or months , all of this on accusations alone .. cool huh .. it's a known fact women never lie, all women are victims, and all men are abusers, women do not try to cover up all the other forms of abuse other than physical, by playing the abused wife role .. that is not at all a possibility and seldom if ever is the case ... your job is to get convictions by playing a role and being an expert witness ..lol

What type of tracking system do you use?

did you enjoy your job?

What is the Annual Income?

Are the hours for this position 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM?

how do you get that card?

did you have prior experience working with domestic violence or sexual victims before getting the victim advocate position?

Oddly doesn't seem to be of a difference seems like alot of non resourcefullness not talking bad just if you mocked what I went through and attempted resources that's pretty alarming

This was very helpful, thank you!!
