No solutions to be found here even if you were referred.

My intake experience was disturbing, the advocate just kept repeating she had been through what I had so she understood but yet couldn't answer questions about where someone would seek assistance if their organization could offer none. Obviously she hasn't had the victims similar experience if she doesn't know the resources to solve their specific problem. Proceeded to cite what I should have done in past reference rather than focus on a current solution which is aggravating when you're attempting to find actual solutions. Not the best person to work with crisis victims if they're going to show frustration and a lack of empathy. No matter how I communicated my concerns about my physical disabilities putting me in dangerous positions she proceeds to tell me to handle restraining orders and protecting myself from a harassing landlord. She thinks it's fine for people with seizures to solely go alone to all this stuff. Apparently they only help domestic violence survivors but if your domestic abuser brought you across state lines, now you're not their problem anymore because you're human trafficking instead. You're just your case label. All she wanted to offer was phone numbers I've already contacted. They use victims who still need counseling themselves to counsel other victims. This kind of learned helplessness is ineffective and dangerous to victims psychology.

Don't donate your dollars where they don't do anything but pay administrators to turn people away. You can waste time here trying to find help but I wouldn't make it your only hope.
