When you think of the "victim advocate" you believe that this title indicates someone, who is fighting on behalf of the victim. Someone supportive, empathetic and positive. My experience with the victim advocates in Douglas County has been completely the opposite. I have only been met with abrasiveness. The empathy is non-existent. I was a victim of domestic violence and the individual is still contacting me. I have done everything within my power to make it stop and been met with roadblocks. The people that are supposed to help me deal with the situation are always rude and no sympathy is ever shown. I wish that being an "advocate" really means your helping others bc at this point, I feel like there is no help for me out there.
