Peer Advocacy Liaison
Background
The Victim Survivor Advocacy program at the University of Utah is a free, confidential,
and trauma-informed service for students, faculty and staff who have experienced relationship,
dating, sexual, and family violence (e.g.., rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment,
and stalking, dating and domestic violence).
This program provides comprehensive case management and support services to victims
and survivors as they access and navigate any resources, processes, and/or services
that they feel would be relevant and helpful to them. Empowering clients to make informed
decisions around their healing and justice is foundational to this program.
The Peer Advocacy Liaisons program supports the ongoing outreach, community education, and awareness-raising about available resources for survivors and how to best support individuals who have disclosed experiences of violence. Up to three Peer Advocacy Liaisons will be hired for the 2024-25 Academic Year.
